0800 Repair, a subsidiary of PHS, has been selected to undertake a significant project for Karbon Homes in the North East. The project entails conducting electrical installation and condition reports (EICR) on approximately 450 homes that have been built or managed by Karbon Homes to ensure that their electrical infrastructure is safe and up-to-date. This multi-year contract was awarded to 0800 Repair as a result of their appointment to Lot 1 of the Decarbonisation Retrofit Framework. Prosper, a North East-based procurement and new build solutions provider, developed the framework to provide organizations such as Karbon Homes with assurance that 0800 Repair was pre-assessed and approved for its experience, technical and professional ability.
The framework provides an innovative and compliant route to delivery through appointed principal contractors, complementing projects supported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Social Housing Decarbonization Fund (SHDF) Wave 2 and ECO4 works. During each inspection, 0800 Repair will assess the homes’ electrical installations, checking for issues such as overloading, defects, and hazards.
Phil Pallister, the managing director of 0800 Repair, expressed his delight at working with Karbon Homes and servicing hundreds of homes across the North East. Pallister stated that “securing a place on this framework, which has been developed by Prosper, demonstrates our commitment to delivering high standards, and more specifically, our ability to meticulously assess electrical installations.”
To ensure that the electrical infrastructure of Karbon Homes’ properties is aligned with safety standards, 0800 Repair’s appointment to Lot 1 of the Decarbonisation Retrofit Framework provides the confidence that Prosper has pre-assessed and approved its experience, technical and professional ability to deliver EICR tests. This multi-year contract that has been awarded to 0800 Repair highlights the company’s commitment to delivering high standards and serving the needs of the North East.
