Case studies
Explore our home retrofit case studies
Every home is different, and homeowners make the decision to retrofit their homes for a range of reasons, from reducing carbon emissions to saving money on energy bills to addressing mould and damp issues. Our case studies show how retrofit works for different homes and homeowners.
Here we’re sharing a few stories from homeowners in Oxfordshire who have been on their very own home retrofit journeys, for their own reasons. The homes range from a 1960s terraced home through to a 16th century thatched cottage.
If these stories inspire you to look at retrofitting your own home, we can help you with that – register your home to get started.
