Efficient, modern design

Efficient modern design

On our developments, currently over 80% of construction waste is recycled and we use low energy light fittings, together with dual flush toilets and low flow bathroom fittings. Our construction standards and the amount of insulation we include within our homes, means that they are more energy efficient than most older properties. This means the central heating system has less to do each day.

Did you know that Barratt Homes recently won gold for the 'Sustainable house builder of the year' Award at the House Builder Awards ceremony in London.

The build so far

The Build so Far

The Looms is situated in Frizington, Cumbria and consists of only 67 units, ranging from two, three and four bed semi-detached, mews and detached family homes.

The site manager oversees the construction of our homes; he takes pride in making sure the homes we hand over are high quality and shows purchasers how their new home is taking shape.

A completed purchase doesn’t mean the service from us ends there. Our customer services team will help in the unlikely event of an emergency, you’re also provided with five-years out of hour’s emergency cover, giving you peace of mind.
