What is retrofitting, and is it right for you?

We make home upgrades simpler, smarter, and more joined-up – so your home works better, all year round.

You might love your home, but hate the cold spots. Or find yourself sweating through summer nights with no way to cool down. Maybe your energy bills have crept up, or you know the boiler’s on its last legs.

Whatever your starting point, you’re not alone. Most homes in Oxfordshire were built before modern energy standards. They’re often draughty, expensive to heat, and hard to keep cool. That’s where retrofit comes in.

What is retrofitting?

Retrofitting means upgrading your home to improve comfort, cut energy use, and reduce carbon emissions. It can involve insulation, better windows, modern heating systems, or even solar panels. But it’s not just about the kit – it’s about the whole home.

We take a joined-up view of how your home performs and what will make the biggest difference. No sales pitch, no one-size-fits-all fix – just a proper plan based on what matters to you.

Is it right for your home?

If you’re too cold in winter, too hot in summer, or your bills are creeping up, retrofit can help. Some people come to us to save money, others to shrink their carbon footprint. Many just want their home to feel better.

The right steps depend on your home, your goals, and your budget – but we’ll help you make sense of it all.

You don’t have to do it all at once. We’ll help you plan the right upgrades, in the right order, at your pace.

Why a retrofit is worth it

Retrofitting isn’t just about saving energy. It’s about making your home work better – for your comfort, your health, and your future. But getting it right takes more than just picking a product or chasing a grant. It means thinking things through properly and having the right people by your side.
