What is retrofit?

Retrofit

Simply, retrofit means applying measures to your home to make it as efficient as possible.

Because of the varying nature of our houses, the measures needed can change from house to house.

Factors such as what it is made from, or when it was constructed, where it is, how it has been altered over time, how well it has been maintained and how you like to live in it, are just some of the things that need consideration.

To retrofit our houses properly, we must truly understand the building, its occupants, its context, its condition and more.

The Whole House Approach

The Whole House Approach is a way of thinking about retrofit that takes risks and wider factors into consideration. It’s about balancing potentially competing demands with the wider context of the house.

This approach ensures that the mistakes that can happen when working measure-by-measure while retrofitting doesn’t happen.

I have EPC recommendations. How is this different?

EPC recommendations can be very inaccurate and lead to serious problems for your home. Our retrofit assessors tailor their recommendations to your house. To ensure that there is no risk in doing damage to your property, always contact a trusted retrofit assessor before retrofitting your home.
