Prepare Your Home for a Greener, More Efficient Future
We guide UK homeowners through the entire energy retrofit journey—from initial assessment to completion. Reduce your bills, improve comfort, and lower your carbon footprint with expert support at every step.
Every Home Has Its Own Energy Story
British homes span centuries of architectural styles, from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and modern builds. Each presents unique challenges and opportunities for energy improvement. We believe in a whole-house approach that considers your home's specific characteristics, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Rather than pushing one-size-fits-all solutions, we develop tailored retrofit strategies. Sometimes that means addressing draughts before considering a heat pump. Other times, it means prioritising ventilation to prevent moisture issues after insulation.

Comprehensive Retrofit Support
From initial energy surveys to grant applications and installation oversight, we provide end-to-end guidance for your home improvement project.
Energy Assessments
Detailed surveys using thermal imaging and blower door tests to identify exactly where your home loses heat and where improvements will have the greatest impact.
Insulation Planning
Bespoke recommendations for wall, roof, and floor insulation that account for building age, construction type, and moisture management requirements.
Renewable Energy
Guidance on solar panels, heat pumps, and battery storage, including viability assessments and integration with existing heating systems.
Grant Support
Help navigating available funding such as the Great British Insulation Scheme, ECO4, and local authority programmes to reduce your upfront costs.
Ventilation Strategy
Critical planning for indoor air quality after insulation improvements, from trickle vents to MVHR systems, preventing condensation and mould issues.
Performance Monitoring
Post-installation review and ongoing monitoring to ensure improvements deliver the expected savings and your home performs as designed.
Your Retrofit Journey
A structured approach that takes the complexity out of home energy improvements whilst keeping you in control of decisions.
Initial Consultation
We discuss your goals, concerns, and budget. You tell us about your home's history, any known issues, and what you hope to achieve.
Home Survey
A thorough assessment including thermal imaging, airtightness testing, and inspection of insulation, heating, and ventilation systems.
Retrofit Plan
A detailed improvement plan showing recommended measures, expected savings, costs, and a suggested sequence for the work.
Implementation Support
Assistance with contractor selection, grant applications, and quality oversight throughout the installation process.
What Homeowners Say
After years of dreading winter in our 1930s semi, we finally took action. The team identified issues we never knew existed—our cavity wall insulation had slumped at the bottom! The phased approach meant we could spread costs over two years.
The grant application support alone was worth it. They secured £7,500 through ECO4 that we had no idea we qualified for. Our heat pump installation went smoothly because they'd properly assessed our home's heat loss first.
We'd had two companies tell us to just install external wall insulation. The survey here revealed our walls were already partially insulated and the real problem was the roof. Saved us £15,000 in unnecessary work.
Living in a listed building, I assumed nothing could be done. They found ways to improve our EPC from G to D without affecting the character. The house is noticeably warmer and our bills have dropped by nearly half.
Property Types We Work With
Every building type presents different challenges. We have experience with the full range of UK housing stock.
The UK Retrofit Landscape
The UK has some of the oldest and least energy-efficient housing stock in Europe. With over 28 million homes, the majority built before modern insulation standards existed, the scale of the retrofit challenge is immense.
Government targets aim for all homes to reach EPC Band C by 2035. Meanwhile, energy prices remain volatile, and mortgage lenders increasingly consider energy efficiency when assessing properties.
"Homes that haven't been improved will become harder to sell and rent. Taking action now means better comfort today and protected property values tomorrow."
— UK Green Building Council, 2024Frequently Asked Questions
Costs vary enormously depending on your starting point and goals. Basic improvements like loft insulation top-up and draught-proofing might cost £1,000-£3,000. A comprehensive retrofit including wall insulation, new windows, and a heat pump could range from £25,000 to £60,000. However, grants and schemes can significantly reduce these figures. We provide detailed cost breakdowns in our retrofit plans.
Most retrofit work can be carried out while you remain in your home. Loft insulation, external wall insulation, and heat pump installation typically cause minimal disruption. Internal wall insulation may require temporary room-by-room arrangements. We plan work sequences to minimise impact on your daily life.
The landscape changes regularly, but key schemes include the Great British Insulation Scheme for insulation measures, ECO4 for lower-income households, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offering £7,500 towards heat pumps, and various local authority programmes. Scotland and Wales have additional schemes. Eligibility depends on factors including property type, income, and current energy performance.
You should notice reduced energy use immediately after measures are installed. The first full heating season after completion gives the clearest picture. Simple measures like loft insulation often pay back within 2-4 years. Larger investments like heat pumps typically achieve payback in 8-12 years, though this depends heavily on energy prices and any grants received.
Absolutely. We've improved Victorian homes from EPC G to B. The approach must respect how traditional buildings work—solid walls need breathable insulation, for instance—but excellent results are achievable. Sometimes older homes with their thicker walls and smaller windows perform better than expected once basic issues are addressed.
