Repairing Britain is supported by Access Renewables

Repairing Britain is designed to boost the UK economy by stimulating the construction industry and encouraging the public and local authorities to take an interest in the maintenance of their homes and community buildings. 

Based in County Durham, Access Renewables is a fresh, innovative company providing retro-fit renewable energy systems to housing stocks of local authorities and housing associations and is actively involved in schemes to retrofit properties throughout the UK.   

The Company installs systems which are designed to address the global threat of climate change by reducing CO2 emissions. These include Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Thermal, Wind Turbines, Ground and Air-source Heat Pumps and Rainwater Harvesting.

Access Renewables envisages that renewable energy systems will be in operation in all buildings in the future, delivering clean power and achieving significant reductions in carbon emissions, and is dedicated to reducing the CO2 emissions of all clients, large or small. 

As part of its support for Repairing Britain, Access Renewables will encourage its employees, customers and potential to sign the campaign’s petition on the Downing Street website, requesting a reduction in VAT on property repair work to 5 percent. 

Sean Collier of Access Renewables said:

“Our business aims to reduce the carbon emissions of buildings through the effective use of renewable energy. There is a natural synergy between the Repairing Britain campaign and our own values which is why we support it fully. We are encouraging anyone we are in contact with to sign the petition requesting a reduction in VAT on property repair which would aid the construction industry economy immensely.”

 Vicky Banham, campaign spokesman, said:

“As a company we are striving to reduce our carbon emissions and helping customers to do so which gives us goals in common with Access Renewables. It is encouraging to see, on a weekly basis, more like minded companies joining our cause and recognising the contribution the campaign could make to reducing emissions from the built environment.”
