High Peak Community Housing Limited was set up in March 2004 by the High Peak Borough Council to manage its housing stock. High Peak Community Housing Limited manages over 4,000 properties and has nearly 160 staff, providing high standard homes, neighbourhoods and communities. As well as delivering Decent Homes, it is continuously improving service, quality and efficiency to create a sustainable future in the borough.

Frank Salisbury, contract administrator of High Peak Community Housing, explained why the properties needed an upgrade: “The improvements at Chapel-en-le-Frith are taking place in a wide range of homes, from 1950s semi-detached and terraced houses, to flats and bungalows. Most of these homes are fitted with old fire and back boiler systems, for which most of the parts have now become obsolete. As a result, we are unable to repair them, and need to upgrade to a more efficient and economical product.”

Gas Care UK has found each installation of the ecoTEC 28 to be simple and straightforward. Dave Wright, director, Gas Care UK, commented: “Vaillant has always provided very good products and the support on offer, should any problems arise, is superb. In all honesty, I can’t fault Vaillant products or services in anyway - they’re second to none.”

By 2010, the Decent Homes initiative expects 95 per cent of all social housing to meet its standard. Salisbury continued: “We have used Vaillant boilers in the past and found them to be exceptionally reliable, energy efficient products. As a result, and because of Vaillant’s high levels of service, and responsive communication channels, we have agreed to use them throughout future contracts in the High Peak Borough.”

After the recent high performance of Vaillant’s boilers, High Peak Community Housing Limited has already specified Vaillant’s ecoTEC pro 28 boilers to be installed in a further 105 properties throughout Whaley Bridge.
