Estate refurbishment and retrofitting
We transform tired properties into smart, efficient homes
Large-scale estate refurbishment is our bread and butter. We’re trusted by some of the UK’s largest residential estate owners to help them transform thousands of homes – often ones they didn’t build themselves.
Whether you need to smarten up a tired-looking estate, improve energy efficiency, or do both, we can help.
Specialists in existing housing stock
We have decades of experience of existing buildings and the unique challenges they bring. We help you spot potential issues early, find ways to make projects more cost effective and help you get the very best out of your buildings.
We've got your back
We’re laser focussed on taking the pressure off you. You can expect bulletproof communication, watertight record-keeping and health and safety, and calm and competent delivery. And if we turn up the unexpected, as is often the case with existing buildings, we come to you early, armed with a solution.
Diligent customer care
We keep a safe and tidy site, make sure people know what’s going on, and make time to listen to worries and answer questions. We have dedicated family liaison officers on hand for larger projects, and even on smaller sites, our families-first approach runs through our entire team.
Impressive efficiency gains
Making existing buildings more efficient is challenging, and often the costs are disproportionate. Not ones to shy away from the challenge, we have been leading the charge on retrofit with a fabric-first approach to improve thermal performance, air tightness and insulation.
“The Government’s commitment to upgrading the UK’s housing stock through the Warm Homes Plan is encouraging, but success depends on getting retrofit right; through considered design, robust quality assurance, and a strong fabric‑first approach.A key issue which holds decarbonisation back is the significant price difference between electricity and gas. Addressing the cost of electricity must be a priority if the Warm Homes Plan is to succeed. It has the potential to become the largest domestic upgrade programme in UK history but to realise that potential, we need a clear, consistent, and well‑structured roadmap.There has to be an educational process undertaken, public engagement and awareness remain major challenges. For a programme of this scale to succeed, households need clarity, confidence, and the right support throughout the process. It’s not just simply about fitting a home with a heat pump, it goes beyond that ensuring the home is well insulated and that improvements to the building fabric come before the installation of any new heating systems.”
