Construction and property services specialist Seddon has started work on three new long-term contracts, which will see hundreds of homes across Yorkshire and the Midlands upgraded over three-year delivery programmes.
The programmes include energy efficiency improvements to more than 300 homes through the government’s Warm Homes Wave 3 retrofit scheme for Warwick District Council and South Yorkshire Housing Association.
It has also been appointed to deliver planned works to fire doors, communal areas and kitchen upgrades in homes for long-term partner, Incommunities.
Seddon supported South Yorkshire in bidding for the funding and developing the programme of works using its retrofit consultancy model, before commencing works.
The investment will support landlords with essential improvements to bring homes up to a minimum EPC C rating, while helping residents reduce energy bills and live in warmer, more comfortable properties.
For Warwick District Council, Seddon will deliver improvements to 176 homes in Warwick and Leamington Spa over three years, including solar PV installation, loft insulation top-ups and improvements to ventilation.
The company has also commenced a window and door replacement programme with Your Housing Group, delivering works at 250 homes, further strengthening its portfolio of long-term planned investment partnerships.
In South Yorkshire, Seddon has started work on site in Sheffield, delivering the first phase of a three-year Warm Homes Wave 3 programme, with further works planned in Rotherham and Maltby in years two and three.
Between 130 and 150 homes are expected to benefit over the life of the programme. Initial works include solar PV insulation and ventilation improvements, alongside wider upgrades.
Seddon has also begun the second year of its ongoing partnership with Incommunities. The new planned maintenance programme builds on kitchen replacement works delivered in 2025 and ongoing damp and mould works.
The project includes kitchen replacements to homes in Keighley, alongside fire safety works across two sheltered accommodation blocks in Bingley and Bradford.
Mark Walker, Managing Director at Seddon Housing Partnerships, said:
“This investment will bring huge benefits to hundreds of families, and we are looking forward to working with the communities to ensure works are delivered in the right way.
“It is a strong start to the year for Seddon and reflects the confidence our new and existing clients place in us to deliver essential investment in their homes.
“Across large-scale retrofit programmes, building safety and planned maintenance works, our focus is on improving the quality and sustainability of existing homes while minimising disruption for residents.
“By supporting clients from the earliest stages of programme development through to delivery on site, we’re able to help bring forward schemes that reduce energy costs, improve comfort and ensure homes remain safe, compliant and fit for the future.”
Works across all three programmes are now live on site, with start dates spanning February 2026.
