The UK Government has identified the retrofit of buildings as a key lever in their low carbon strategy to achieve 68% carbon reduction by 2030. All affordable homes will be required to achieve a minimum EPC of C by 2030. All government funded refurbishment projects will be required to achieve full compliance with PAS 2035:2019 from July 2021 with a 20% funding uplift for projects that comply before the deadline.

As energy prices soar and security of supply becomes increasingly volatile, receiving retrofit advice can put people in better control of their own energy consumption. The majority of existing buildings are very inefficient to heat, meaning they are more expensive to run. Retrofitting existing buildings to improve their thermal performance is becoming ever more important as we start to respond to, and adapt, our building stock for low carbon heating strategies. Grayson’s Retrofit Services will find the most impactful and cost-effective ways to keep your homes comfortable, energy efficient, and reduce bills in the long run.

Retrofitting needn’t be complex, but there will be challenges. We take a strategic, long-term approach to retrofit projects, and encourage clients to evaluate the post-retrofit performance for a period afterwards to ensure both the design targets and their expectations are met – not just on paper.

Our approach to retrofit projects is to help clients:
-
Reduce energy use and associated carbon emissions
-
Identify opportunities for low carbon services and on-site renewable generation
-
Improve comfort conditions and occupant wellbeing
-
Optimise capital expenditure and provide a medium-term improvement plan (you may not be able to do everything at once)
Whether you are planning a partial retrofit to your home, perhaps as part of an extension or a full retrofit, here at Grayson’s we can assist and advise you during the retrofit process and make sure you make the right decisions.
