Following the transfer of the Council's housing stock to Rochford Housing Association, the Council no longer owns or manages properties. Instead, we work with Rochford Housing Association, other housing associations in the District and private landlords to provide a stock of homes that meets the needs of our community.

 

Rochford Housing Association is a member of Sanctuary Housing Group who own and manage over 60,000 homes across the country.

Up to 25% of the heat in your home can be lost through the roof. Most homes have some kind of insulation but it is often inadequate. For optimum energy efficiency, you should have insulation that is 270mm deep. 

 

Up to 35% of the heat in your home can be lost through the walls. Cavity wall insulation is one of the best ways to reduce your heating bills as it increases the energy efficiency of your home. If your home was built after 1930, it will probably have "cavity" walls, this means there is a gap in the walls that can be filled with insulation. If you insulate these cavities, you'll bring your home up to current standards and make it warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to heat.
