The UK government has recently announced that, under the Future Homes Standard (to be published this Autumn), the majority of new build properties will be required to include rooftop solar panels, unless site-specific factors such as shading make it impractical.

It’s a move designed to help households save on energy bills while cutting carbon emissions and boosting the UK’s energy security. In this week’s blog, we explore what the announcement means in practice, how the industry is reacting, and what housebuilders and developers should expect next.

Sheriff Construction turns 20 this August and we’re marking the milestone in more ways than one. As well as celebrating two decades of teamwork, resilience and growth, we’re also taking on a major challenge: to raise £20,000 for charity by the end of 2025.

This ambitious fundraising target is our way of giving back to the communities and causes that matter to us – and it reflects our team’s generous spirit and determination to make a real difference. Find out more in this week’s blog.

It’s easy to get stuck at your desk when there’s a deadline looming or a big task in front of you. Hours can go by before you realise you haven’t stood up, stretched or even moved more than a few steps. Most of us know that staying seated for too long isn’t great for our health – but still, we often just crack on with our day regardless.

That’s why we’re focusing this week’s blog on why it’s so important for office workers to add movement into their day – and some simple ways to do it, even during a busy work schedule. Plus, we’ll share how our office team is putting this into action by walking 1,000 miles this May!
