One possibile meaning is the external refurbishing of buildings.
--
In the 1970’s and early 1980’s the Birmingham “enveloping” scheme, whereby the external fabric of properties was renewed largely free of charge to owners, covered a large part of these areas. The evidence of “enveloping”, new roofs, chimneys and garden walls is still very visible and has made a substantial contribution to maintaining the housing stock in Handsworth and the other HART areas.
