How it works

  1. We visit your home and carry out a detailed survey.
  2. We assess how your home currently performs.

Project Design

Designing it right

Two services support this stage, depending on your project. Retrofit Specifications give your contractor what they need for a straightforward retrofit. Design Review keeps retrofit principles at the heart of an architect's plans.

Retrofit specifications

We provide clear retrofit specifications covering the preparation, materials, installation method and ongoing maintenance for each measure. This is suited to simpler projects involving a small number of retrofit improvements.

Design review

If you’re working with another professional, we can review designs, flagging retrofit opportunities and risks to help maximise your home’s potential.

From £400 + VAT

Building work

Building it right

All the planning and design work only matters if it makes it onto the building site. We provide on-site support during construction, helping your contractor build to the standard your plan requires and answering retrofit questions as they come up.

On-site support

Toolbox talks to brief your contractor's team on retrofit techniques.
