What is a Retrofit Assessment?

Retrofit refers to the process of making energy efficiency improvements to an existing property — improving insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and airtightness to reduce energy consumption and lower bills.

Unlike new-build properties which are designed to modern energy standards from the ground up, millions of older UK homes lose significant heat through poorly insulated walls, roofs, and floors. Retrofit addresses this by upgrading what is already there.

What is Retrofit Coordination?

Retrofit coordination is the process of planning, managing, and overseeing energy efficiency improvements to ensure they are carried out safely, effectively, and in line with industry standards.

A qualified Retrofit Coordinator acts as the key point of responsibility throughout your project — ensuring all improvements are appropriate for your property, installed correctly, and fully compliant with PAS 2035 standards. This whole-house approach gives you confidence that your project is managed professionally from start to finish.

Retrofit Installation

Retrofit installation is the stage where recommended energy efficiency improvements are physically carried out within your property. Following a retrofit assessment and coordination process, this phase turns plans into reality — upgrading key elements of your home to improve performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.

All work is completed by qualified installers in line with approved standards and best practices. Common measures include loft, wall or floor insulation, boiler upgrades, heat pumps, ventilation improvements, and renewable energy solutions — each installed in a carefully planned sequence as part of a whole-house approach.

FAQ's

How Much Does a Retrofit Assessment Cost?

Our Retrofit Assessment fees vary depending on the size and type of your property. We provide a clear, fixed quote before any work begins — with no hidden charges. Contact us today and we’ll give you a transparent breakdown of costs for your specific property.

What Is a Retrofit Assessment and What Does It Involve?

A Retrofit Assessment is a detailed survey of your home carried out by a qualified Retrofit Assessor. We look at your insulation levels, heating system, ventilation, airtightness, and overall energy efficiency to produce a full report recommending the most effective improvements for your property.

I Am a Landlord — Can You Help Me Meet EPC Requirements?

Yes. We work with private landlords and housing providers to bring properties up to the required EPC standard. Our team can carry out the assessment, coordinate the works, and provide the updated EPC certificate on completion — making the whole process straightforward for you.

What Services Do You Offer as Part of Your Retrofit Package?

We offer a full end-to-end service including Retrofit Assessments, Retrofit Coordination, Retrofit Installation (loft insulation, wall insulation, boiler upgrades), Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), and Airtightness Testing. Whether you need one service or all of them, we can tailor a package to suit your needs.

How Long Does the Retrofit Process Take?

Timescales depend on the scope of works required. A standard Retrofit Assessment typically takes 1–2 hours on site, with the report issued within a days. Installation works are planned around your schedule, and our Retrofit Coordinator will manage the entire project timeline for you.
