Domestic retrofit, making your home more energy efficient.
Retrofitting your home can significantly improve its energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability while reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills.
Retrofitting involves making upgrades and improvements to existing homes to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. These upgrades can include installing insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, improving ventilation, and integrating renewable energy technologies such as solar panels or heat pumps.
Whether you’re looking to enhance insulation, upgrade heating systems, or install renewable energy technologies, retrofitting offers numerous benefits for homeowners.
Benefits of Retrofitting for Homeowners
Retrofitting your home offers several benefits, including
- Energy Savings: Retrofitting can significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills, saving you money in the long run.
- Improved Comfort: By improving insulation and upgrading heating systems, retrofitting can enhance indoor comfort by maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your home.
- Protect you as a homeowner from defects such as poor ventilation, mould growth, water ingress, draughts and condensation which could lead to poor health and well-being.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Retrofitting reduces your home’s carbon emissions, contributing to efforts to combat climate change and protect the environment.
- Increased Property Value: Energy-efficient homes are in high demand among buyers, potentially increasing the resale value of your property.

Air Pressure Testing
Air Pressure Testing will enable us to identify and calculate the air tightness of your home enabling you to take the next steps to making your home better energy efficient. Once you have an understanding of where air leaks are taking place in your home this will enable you to implement steps that could reduce draughts, help lower running costs and avoid condensation building up.
- Identifying the root cause of your draughts
- Improves your energy efficiency
- Saves you money on your energy bills
Thermographic Survey
Thermographic surveys provide non disruptive or invasive imagery of a building which looks for uncontrolled air leakage.
- It looks at the structural materials, surfaces, insulation and fixtures of your home.
- Uses thermal imaging cameras that scan the property to provide an image of potential heat loss.
- Assesses the energy efficiency of a property.
- It looks for where heat and energy are being lost and where draughts are.
- Identify cold spots on buildings – an area where too much heat passes from the inside to the outside.
- Can detect water damage on flat roofs.
Ventilation Survey
Ventilation surveys helps reduce condensation and mould growth. Ventilation is the exchange of fresh air from the outside with stale and moist air from the inside of the property Poor ventilation causes pollution and condensation to be trapped inside homes. Survey could include some of the following:
- Trickle vents on windows
- Door undercuts
- Extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens
- Existing vents such as air bricks
- Underfloor vents
- Roof ventilation
