Transforming Lancaster West Estate, Social Housing

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Lancaster West Estate (LWE) is undergoing a major refurbishment to become a model for 21st-century social housing. Backed by government funding and provisional support from the Mayor’s Energy Efficiency Fund, the estate aims to be net zero-carbon by 2030.

Derisk (UK) Ltd is part of this once-in-a-generation project will modernise 795 homes across six schemes, improving comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. A multidisciplinary technical team has been appointed to lead the design and delivery of works across the estate.

Scope of Works

The Walkways (367 units)

East Side (207 units)

Morland & Talbot Grove Houses (79 units)

Treadgold (38 units)

Camborne Mews (36 units)

Verity Close (68 units)

Overcoming Challenges in Estate Transformation

Transforming Lancaster West Estate into a model for 21st-century social housing presents unique challenges—from upgrading occupied homes and meeting net zero targets, to rebuilding trust post-Grenfell and coordinating complex works across six diverse schemes. Derisk ensures that health and safety is fully embedded into the design and planning of the estate’s refurbishment programme.
