Retrofitting your home with improved insulation or green technology is challenging. Whole House Planning helps.

The conventional design and build marketplace often leaves it to installers to make recommendations – and they can get it wrong. Inappropriate measures can lead to a whole host of issues down the line, such as damp, mould and rot. Even the right measures at the wrong time can cause issues – for example new insulation needing to be removed to upgrade pipework.
