Major improvement works completed at Fleming Crescent
Pembrokeshire County Council has completed major improvement works at Fleming Crescent, delivering upgraded roofing, structural enhancements and new solar technology across three residential blocks.
The project, which forms part of the Council’s wider commitment to investing in safer, warmer and more energy-efficient homes, has seen the full replacement of roofs serving 54 flats.
The works also included significant structural improvements to support the long-term performance of the buildings, alongside the installation of solar panels to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and help lower energy costs for tenants.
Pembrokeshire County Council was pleased to receive a funding contribution from Welsh Government through the Optimised Retrofit Programme which helps support the delivery of the energy-efficiency improvements alongside wider investment works.
All works were completed on schedule, with W B Griffiths & Son Ltd appointed as the main contractor responsible for delivering the scheme.
Cabinet Member for Housing, Cllr Michelle Bateman said: “Delivering a project of this scale on schedule is a significant achievement. The new roofs and external upgrades will help reduce future maintenance issues and improve the long-term resilience of the buildings, while the solar panels form an important part of our wider decarbonisation programme. By working closely with W B Griffiths & Son Ltd, we have delivered high-quality improvements that will benefit tenants both now and in the future.
“Pembrokeshire County Council continues to invest in housing improvements across the county, ensuring homes remain safe, modern, energy efficient and fit for the future.”
The project has also received national recognition, having been shortlisted for a Constructing Excellence in Wales Award. This shortlisting reflects the high quality of the works and the successful delivery of the scheme.

Neil Griffiths, Managing Director of W B Griffiths & Son Ltd, said: “We are proud to have delivered this important project at Fleming Crescent to a high standard and within the agreed timescales. The combination of full roof replacement and solar panel installation will provide long-term value, improve the performance of the buildings and support better outcomes for residents. It has been a pleasure to work in partnership with Pembrokeshire County Council on this scheme.”
