Home › Case Studies
See how retrofit compliance projects come together — from room-in-roof conversions to cavity, internal, and external wall insulation. Each case study walks through the challenge, the solution, and the outcomes a typical UK home can expect.
These case studies are representative examples based on typical project delivery and are not claims of specific client projects.
Case Study
The property had an unused loft with poor insulation, limited lighting, and no proper access or services, making it unsuitable for living use.
A room-in-roof conversion was planned including structural strengthening, staircase installation, roof windows, insulation upgrades, electrical and heating extension, and full Building Regulations compliance.
The loft space was transformed into a usable, comfortable room suitable for a bedroom, office, or study with improved lighting, insulation, and overall functionality.
This is an illustrative example based on typical UK loft conversion projects and does not represent a specific client case.
Case Study
High heating costs and noticeable heat loss through external walls.
Status: representative retrofit scenario — based on typical project delivery, not a specific client case.
Case Study
The property had solid brick walls causing high heat loss, cold rooms, and condensation issues.
Internal Wall Insulation was installed using insulated plasterboards with vapour control layers, along with thermal bridge detailing around windows and junctions.
This is an illustrative example based on typical UK retrofit projects, not a specific client case.
Case Study
The property had uninsulated solid external walls, leading to high heat loss, cold internal surfaces, and increased energy bills. The façade also showed signs of poor thermal performance and condensation issues.
An External Wall Insulation system was designed and applied, including insulation board installation, reinforcing mesh, base coat render, and weather-resistant decorative finish. Window and door reveals were also insulated to reduce thermal bridging.
The property would typically experience significantly improved thermal performance, with reduced heat loss through external walls and enhanced indoor comfort throughout the year.
