Transforming homes 

Project at Sussex Street

Norwich City Council is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our tenants by renovating and modernising our properties. As part of this effort, we wanted to show you an example of a recent Whole House Improvement (WHI) project at Sussex Street, where a second-floor, two- bedroom flat has undergone a complete refurbishment.
 
This ambitious project, completed by our partners at Gasway, has delivered significant upgrades, including a new heating system, modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, asbestos removal, new flooring, and the rebuilding of internal walls. The flat has been fully modernised, creating a fresh and comfortable living space for new tenants.

You can see the transformation in some of the before and after photos below, highlighting the dramatic improvements and the care we’re putting into every detail of the renovation.

Speaking about the project, Cllr Beth Jones, portfolio holder for housing at Norwich City Council said, “The whole house improvement project at Sussex Street demonstrates our commitment to our tenants. By undertaking such comprehensive refurbishments, we’re not just improving the buildings but also enhancing the daily living experience for our residents. Everyone deserves a safe, comfortable, and modern home, and this project is a prime example of that belief in action.”

This WHI project is part of a broader initiative to upgrade council properties across the city. We are working hard to ensure our tenants enjoy the benefits of these improvements, turning houses into homes that meet modern standards and provide a better quality of life for all.
