Independent Retrofit Advice
What actually makes sensefor your home
Before you spend £10k–£40k on insulation, get clear advice from someone who isn't selling you anything. Independent assessments that help you decide — not push you to buy.
Everyone's telling you something different
One installer says external wall insulation. Another pushes internal. The surveyor mentions damp risk. Your builder says it's overkill. The internet has seventeen opinions and three horror stories.
You're trying to make a decision that costs tens of thousands of pounds, affects your home for decades, and could cause serious problems if done wrong.
What you need isn't another quote. It's someone who'll tell you the truth about what makes sense for your specific house — including when the answer is "don't do it" or "not yet."
What we actually do
Independent advice based on hands-on experience and building physics — not sales targets
Assess your building
We look at your walls, roof, floors, junctions — how your house actually behaves, not what a database says. Construction type, moisture paths, ventilation, the details that determine success or failure.
Give you a clear answer
Not hedged, not vague, not "it depends" without explanation. We'll tell you what we'd do if it were our house — and why. Including the trade-offs, risks, and alternatives.
Document everything
You get a written report with findings, recommendations, and reasoning. Something you can show contractors, compare against quotes, and reference when making your decision.

Why listen to us
We're not surveyors or architects. We're a team that has spent years installing insulation, understanding why things fail, learning building physics the hard way, and seeing what actually works in real homes — not just in theory.
"Our role is practical retrofit advice — helping you decide what makes sense. Where something needs a surveyor, structural engineer, or building control, we'll tell you. We don't pretend to be what we're not."

Important Note
We provide practical insulation and retrofit advice based on experience and building physics. We are not chartered surveyors, architects, or structural engineers. Our assessments are advisory and do not replace formal surveys, building control approval, or specialist investigations where required. Where your situation needs expertise beyond our scope, we will tell you clearly and recommend appropriate professionals.
