Design and Retrofit Planning

Retrofitting your property stock can improve energy efficiency, lower utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint. This renewable technology and building fabric measures that help you achieve your sustainability goals 

Sureserve delivers a wide range of services around retrofitting homes and we have delivered in excess of 1000 upgrades to housing providers nationwide. As a PAS2035 accredited contractor, carrying our own retrofit co-ordinators and assessors means we can handle every aspect of your retrofit journey. We also pride ourselves on being able to self-deliver theseprjects. We are Trustmark and MCS accredited and can deliver funded works across a whole scope of measures.

Our commitment to whole-house retrofit involves the installation of multiple measures, utilising a fabric first approach as outlined by PAS2035 specifications. Sureserve will adopt a fabric-first retrofit approach. We fix defects and upgrade the building fabric insulation (loft, cavity/solid wall), draught-proofing and balanced ventilation to cut heat demand. Once fabric performance is improved and verified, we specify and install the right low-carbon heating system sized for lower running costs and better comfort for residents.

Our fabric-first approach aims to minimise the demand for heating and power, striving to reduce the size and capacity requirements of any replacement systems, particularly in the case of heating. By focusing on maximising and conserving heat within the home rather than solely relying on excessive heat generation, this method ensures that the 
home operates efficiently with minimal heat loss. Consequently, this approach not only results in reduced energy bills but also contributes to a significant reduction in our carbon footprint.

We will always make recommendations based on individualised circumstances, taking into account specific needs and requirements. The goal is to provide solutions that prioritise the well-being and satisfaction of the resident. By considering preferences and
circumstances, we aim to deliver a whole-house retrofit that optimises energy efficiency, comfort and sustainability. Ultimately creating a home that is both environmentally responsible and perfectly suited to the residents needs.
