You know the feeling. The heating’s on, but the living room’s still cold. The energy bill lands, and you wonder where it’s all going. There’s condensation on the windows. You’re layering up in winter and cracking open windows in summer.

Sound familiar? You’re not imagining it. Most homes in the UK weren’t built for today’s energy needs. But when you love where you live – the street, the garden, the light through the hallway – moving isn’t the answer.

That’s where retrofitting comes in. It means making targeted improvements to your home – like better insulation, upgraded heating systems, or draught-proofing – to make it warmer, more efficient, and easier to live in all year round.

Your home, your priorities

No two homes are exactly alike. The same goes for the people who live in them. That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to improving energy efficiency, cutting bills, or creating year-round comfort.

Whether you’re thinking about your carbon footprint, your future energy bills, or simply making your home a nicer place to live – we’re here to help you take a thoughtful, joined-up approach.

“We didn’t want to move – we just wanted the house to work better for how we live now.” Sarah, East Oxford

Understand your home, then plan smarter

We don’t believe in quick fixes or sales tactics. We believe in helping you understand how your home works – where heat is lost, where damp might be creeping in, and where improvements could make a real difference. The result? A home that’s more comfortable to live in now – and potentially more attractive to future buyers, too.

By taking a whole house approach – with the guidance of a Whole House Plan – you can avoid piecemeal upgrades and focus on improvements that work together:

• See the bigger picture of how your home performs
• Understand which improvements matter most – and why
• Prioritise upgrades in a way that makes sense for your budget and timeline
• Avoid expensive missteps or short-term fixes that don’t last

You don’t have to do everything at once. But with a clear roadmap, you’ll know what to do – and when – with confidence.

The right support, tailored to you

We support homeowners across Oxfordshire with energy-efficient home improvements and smarter, more sustainable choices – not because they have to, but because they care. About their homes. About their comfort. About the future.

We’ll match you with an expert Retrofit Coordinator who will guide you through every stage – from your first assessment to your final step. Local, independent, and on your side.

Thinking about making a change?

Maybe you’ve just moved in, and want to start as you mean to go on.

Or you’ve lived in your home for years and are ready to do things differently.
Maybe you’re already planning renovations – and want to get the fabric of the building right while you’re at it.

You might care deeply about your carbon footprint. Or you just want fewer cold corners and a more comfortable life.

Whatever your reason, we’ll help you make smart decisions – with a plan that’s tailored to your home, your values, and your future.

And because it’s based on a joined-up view of your whole home, it’s an investment that makes sense – helping you avoid short-term fixes and make improvements that hold their value over time.
