Retrofitting a traditional home requires a different approach from upgrading a modern property. Older buildings were designed to manage moisture in different ways, so using the wrong insulation or installation method can create unintended consequences. However, a well-planned retrofit can improve comfort, reduce heat loss and lower energy bills. For example, a fully insulated detached home could potentially save around £500 on its energy bills each year.

Curious to learn more about how insulation can aid in reducing your energy bills? Or wondering how to make your home warmer and more comfortable, without causing problems to the building or compromising its historic character? This free HEAT Hub Home Energy Improvements Event in collaboration with the Hope Valley Climate Action Group is designed for you.

Join us for an informative morning exploring insulation, the building fabric and home energy upgrades - following a sensitive and cost-effective approach.

We will provide practical insight into insulation and fabric-first principles including moisture management, ventilation and how to avoid common retrofit mistakes in traditional homes.

We will also explore the key considerations when retrofitting homes within the National Park, listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. This will also include advice on achieving successful approvals and permissions.

Get advice, ask questions, and feel confident about your next steps.

Please note that this is not a drop-in session. Full attendance is required to benefit from the expert guidance provided.
