In a recent YouGov survey, carried out by TrustMark, 60% of UK homeowners did not know what the term ‘retrofit’ means. However, 53% of all homeowners surveyed were interested to know more about retrofit and say they would welcome “an easy-to-understand guide”.

Of the homeowners who were aware of the term ‘retrofit’, 57% had not seen, read, or heard an explanation that could help them to understand it in detail.

Out of 49% of homeowners planning to undertake home improvements in 2022-23, 19% cited energy efficiency measures, including wall insulation, double glazing, or installing a new boiler as top priorities.

In the UK, our homes are responsible for around 20% of carbon emissions. To address the climate crisis, we must address energy efficiency in our homes.
