Senior supports multiple housing regeneration projects across the Midlands

Public Sector Mon, Jul 28, 2025 1:38 PM

Senior Architectural Systems has joined forces with supply chain partner WD Group to supply, fabricate and install a range of aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling solutions as part of the refurbishment of six residential tower blocks across Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Two of the tower blocks, the 20 storey Salisbury and Canterbury Towers, are located in the Ladywood area of Birmingham which is undergoing extensive regeneration as part of what is described as the city’s most significant housing redevelopment opportunity in a generation.

Here, Senior has supplied its thermally-efficient SPW600 aluminium system as part of the large-scale window replacement programme. To improve the safety and comfort of the residents, the SPW600 aluminium windows have been specified with automatic opening vents (AOV) in the individual dwellings, and as a fixed light option at the high-level communal areas.

Senior and WD Group worked alongside architects AHP Associates and regeneration specialists Equans on this major contract.

Building on the positive relationship with Equans, WD Group was also appointed to install the fenestration packages at Bradfield House and Greenfield House, both of which form part of the Mapledene Road Estate in Sheldon.

The six-storey tower blocks, which are located in the east of the city and date back to the 1950s, have also undergone extensive refurbishment and now benefit from Senior’s AOV SPW600 aluminium windows and thermally-enhanced SF52 aluminium curtain wall system. With the design overseen by MDA (Mike Daubney Associates), both residential schemes now benefit from improved energy-efficiency and the greater use of natural light.

The collaboration between Senior and WD Group also extended to work in Wolverhampton, where two contracts have been completed as part of the wider regeneration of the Heath Town area. The largest of the two residential schemes is the 23-storey Brockfield Tower which has undergone a major refurbishment programme to replace all doors and windows, improve the overall quality of the building and reduce maintenance requirements.

As part of the project team comprising Jacobs architects and property service provider United Living, Senior supplied its patented low U-value PURe® aluminium windows and SPW600 AOV windows, alongside its SF52 aluminium curtain wall systems. Each of the individual homes further benefit from Senior’s Ali FOLD aluminium bi-folding doors and the extensive balconies, which dominate the tower’s exterior, have also been improved through the installation of powder coated aluminium copings.

Brockfield Tower was completed as part of the first phrase and its success led to WD Group’s subsequent appointment to work on Tremont House. This nine-storey tower has been refurbished as part of the second phase of the Heath Town regeneration programme. Again working within the same project team, WD Group has fabricated and installed Senior’s low U-value PURe® aluminium windows, SPW600 AOV windows and SF52 aluminium curtain wall systems.
