£5.2million transformation gets underway at historic Hull flats [Archived]

We've appointed North-East based regeneration specialist RE:GEN to carry out the work at Turner and Owbridge Court in Hull, as part of our Capital Delivery Framework.

Turner Court, which is a grade II listed building and Owbridge Court, will benefit from extensive refurbishment to more than 70 homes, along with the communal spaces to ensure they remain safe, modern and comfortable.

Improvements will include new kitchens and bathrooms, full electrical rewiring and the installation of new boilers and heating systems. Residents will also see balconies replaced, new sash and UPVC windows fitted to improve energy efficiency, and a programme of roof repairs and landscaping.

Security measures will also be enhanced, with the installation of a new CCTV system to help residents feel safer in their homes.

To plan for the work beginning, residents were invited to a consultation event where they met the team, asked questions and found out more about the work.

Thirteen’s investment area manager Claire Atkinson said: “This is a significant investment for our customers in two much-loved buildings in the heart of Hull. The buildings are rich in history and character, and these improvements will ensure that residents benefit from having more energy efficient, modern, safe homes.

“We’re committed to investing in our customers’ homes, and this project is a great example of that.”

Tim Wood, managing director of RE:GEN Yorkshire & East Midlands said: “We’re delighted to be delivering this project on behalf of Thirteen as part of this transformative investment programme. We’re looking forward to seeing the project take shape and see the completed work make a real difference to customers’ homes and the local communities”.

The project, which is expected to be completed in May 2026 is part of Thirteen’s wider £58million investment plans, which are improving thousands of homes in the North East and Yorkshire this year.
