Sustainability
Hyde Property are dedicated to improving sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of the work we do.
In the process of the work we undertake, we go above and beyond to actively reduce waste. From design stage and initial material selections, we build in plans to minimise waste, reclaiming or recycling materials where possible. Where new materials are required, we use natural materials where possible, sourced from sustainably responsible suppliers.
We believe passionately that older buildings have the capacity to be more energy efficient and sustainable than many are lead to think. It takes a little more thought around the materials and methods, to ensure that each measure proves to be a benefit to the old structure and doesn’t damage the original fabric of the building, but it is absolutely possible. On one of our recent projects, we improved the EPC rating of a 570 year old Grade II Listed cruk-framed home from F (25) to C (69), which is something we are very proud of. As the average EPC rating of any dwelling in England and Wales is ‘D’, that’s quite an achievement in a home which was originally built in the 1450’s! We make it possible for our clients get the joy of an older home, with an EPC rating of a modern house.
