RETROFIT

"In the short term helping people pay for their fuel bills helps, but it does not solve the long-term issue that we can't continue to burn fossil fuels as we once did, only insulating our buildings will help this."

Sarah Wigglesworth.

“One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.”

Mark Twain

Retrofitting your home is the process of improving comfort, energy efficiency and indoor health through a series of carefully designed interventions. Upgrade your home to become welcoming, comfortable, cheaper to run, more desirable and more valuable.

​​

A Home Upgrade Guide is often the best place to start - empowering you with the knowledge to commence a clear, safe, cost-effective journey. Putting you in control.

Rightmove research showed added value of 15% on average from EPC rating F to C

​

Above all your home should be resilient; a place of shelter, security and comfort. We design using natural materials with low embodied carbon and low toxicity - better for human and environmental health.​

​​​

There are various reasons for embarking on a retrofit - needing your home to be warmer in winter, cooler in summer, cheaper to run, healthier for your family and better for the environment.

​​

Whatever your reasons, the process of retrofitting needs to be carefully planned and accurately specified. Not every intervention needs to be done at the same time but having a whole-house action plan is the best way to ensure successful outcomes. 

​​​​​

Heat pumps and solar power will become standard in future and now is the time to start getting your home ready for low-carbon electrification.
