Frequently Asked Questions
What is Retrofitting?
Retrofitting is seen as a practical and proven solution to combat energy inefficient homes, by improving the insulation, airtightness, and energy performance of a home while minimising negative impacts on the environment.
What are the Benefits of Retrofitting?
Energy Efficiency:
One of the primary advantages of retrofitting is the substantial reduction in energy waste, leading to lower energy bills and a more sustainable lifestyle. A comprehensive retrofit of a typical UK home can result in carbon emission reductions of up to 8,100 kg per year.
Improved Comfort:
Retrofit measures not only enhance energy efficiency but also contribute to a more comfortable living environment by minimising drafts and cold spots.
Increased Property Value:
Retrofitting adds value to properties, making them more appealing to potential buyers who prioritise energy efficiency.
Environmental Sustainability:
By reducing energy consumption, retrofitting contributes to the larger goal of reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.
When should you start a retrofit project?
In most cases you can carry out a retrofit project at any time, so long as the space is empty, whether it be a room or a full property.
We recommend the space to be cleared and efforts are made to protect floors to minimise any dust or mess throughout the project.
How much does retrofitting a home cost?
We aim to provide cost effective products for your retrofit project. We offer a local supply of specialist materials, available for same day collection that can be reused, ultimately keeping emissions and costs low.
Will retrofitting my house save money?
Retrofitted homes can benefit from substantial energy savings by making homes more energy efficient, ultimately saving you money on your energy bills.
Can I retrofit an old house?
Yes! Majority of UK homes were built before modern energy efficiency regulations were put in place, resulting in high levels of energy consumption, increased carbon emissions, and higher than necessary energy bills for homeowners. These buildings can be retrofitted in become more energy efficient.
