Contractor: Bells
Project Location: Murton, Durham, Spennymoor & Hartlepool

Project Overview

Flowing Energy Solutions delivered 568 SDHF projects on behalf of Bell Group over 14 months. A full turnkey solution was provided, which included full project management, customer liaison, appointment booking and handover documentation.

Measures Installed

The projects involved scaffold, solar PV, loft insulation, ventilation, smoke detection, heating controls, new loft hatches,  pest control, environmental cleans and asbestos removal.

The Result

The project saw 3408 solar panels installed, making a total of 1.5 megawatts across the scheme. Over 800 DMEVs and 568 smoke detectors bring the properties up to the current regulations, and customers save an average of £300 per year on their energy bills. In 2025, there were 1.2 megawatts of energy produced by the solar PV systems.

Testimonial

“We’ve been extremely impressed with the quality and professionalism demonstrated by Flowing Energy Solutions throughout the project. The team’s expertise in adapting existing social housing to meet modern standards was evident at every stage. They handled the complexities of our project with exceptional care, ensuring minimal disruption while maximising the impact of the improvements. The results have been outstanding, not only in terms of the building’s energy efficiency and sustainability but also in creating a safer and more comfortable living environment for our customers. This project has significantly enhanced the quality of life for residents, reducing energy costs and improving the overall quality of their homes. A key highlight was the team’s approach to tenant liaison. They prioritised clear, transparent communication and took the time to engage with residents every step of the way. By keeping customers informed and addressing concerns proactively, the team helped foster a positive atmosphere throughout the project, ensuring the process was as smooth and non-disruptive as possible. We are proud of the outcome of this project and would highly recommend Flowing Energy Solutions to anyone looking to improve social housing in a sustainable and customer-focused way. We very much look forward to future collaborations and a continued partnership with Flowing Energy Solutions.”
