The UK’s housing stock is some of the oldest in the world, with the average British home having been built in 1914. While we value our towns and cities for their character and heritage, this also means that British homes can be notoriously old-fashioned compared with houses on the continent and further abroad in the US, Canada and Australia. For homeowners, not only can this be uncomfortable, it can also be measured in pounds and pence when it comes to paying rising energy bills. That’s the problem an energy efficient retrofit provided by Rethink Retrofit is here to solve.
If you have sat in a draught, put on an extra jumper for warmth or faced the shock of a surprisingly large bill, your home could be one of millions in Yorkshire alone that could benefit from retrofitting. By undertaking interventions from fitting or renewing insulation, installing efficient systems such as heat pumps, retrofitting windows or turning to solar generation, you can make your house comfortable and affordable for years to come without the expense and hassle of moving house.
Rethink Retrofit is a team of industry experts that specialise in managing domestic and commercial retrofit projects from start to finish. A building is a complex ecosystem, and you can’t get the best results by just fixing one part when the rest is still underperforming, but managing a complete retrofit yourself can be expensive and time-consuming. That’s where we come in.
We’re connected to a wide array of building specialists, and it’s our job to work out exactly what your building needs and assemble a team to carry out the work that will address its unique and individual situation. From energy surveys and planning permission, though the design stage, all the way to the building and fitting work and commissioning: We’ll bring all of those experts together to ensure your retrofit happens quickly, affordably and with great results at the end.
Every home is unique, and no two home retrofits are the same. From the building’s age to its construction, its location and its history of extensions and renovations, there is a lot to consider. So, Rethink Retrofit is prepared for anything. Once we have undertaken a Whole House Survey to determine your needs, we’ll make our recommendations that will tell you how you could be getting more out of your home. This will determine not only what works you might need, such as new insulation or an air source heat pump system, but also whether you need planning permission or listed building consent.
Alongside domestic buildings we can also tackle energy efficient retrofit projects on all other building types, including commercial and leisure facilities, places of worship, industrial buildings, HMOs, local authority housing and more. We specialise in complex and challenging retrofit projects, and it’s our mission to make sure your project happens as quickly and successfully as possible.
