Retrofit,
measured.
We design and build whole-house retrofits across Oxfordshire — insulation, windows, ventilation and heating as one programme, one contract, one accountable company. Then we publish what the building actually achieved.

Who we work for
Four kinds of client, one method: understand the building, fix the fabric first, publish the result.
Homeowners
A warmer, quieter, healthier house — one programme, one contract, one point of accountability from survey to handover.
Landlords
EPC C by 2030 without guesswork — fabric-first improvement plans, costed and phased around your tenancies.
Architects & specifiers
A delivery contractor fluent in building physics — U-values, airtightness, moisture-safe junctions, honest programmes.
Period & listed homes
Breathable materials — wood fibre, cork and lime — for houses that were built to breathe, in conservation areas and beyond.

All guidesWhole-house retrofit: the complete guide
What it involves, what order to do it in, and how a fabric-first programme actually runs — from first survey to the final EPC.
EPC C by 2030: a landlord's working plan
What the proposed deadline means for rented homes in Oxfordshire — and how to phase fabric improvements around tenancies.
Wood fibre, cork and lime: how breathable materials work
Why solid-wall houses need insulation that handles moisture — and where each material belongs in the build-up.
Every retrofit starts with a free survey.
A senior surveyor walks the house, takes the measurements, and tells you honestly what it needs — and in what order. Written summary either way.
