At Loco Home, we believe that making a plan at the beginning will reduce mistakes and costly errors. Renovation (changing the look and function of the home) and retrofit (improving the energy efficiency of your home) should really go hand-in-hand. When you’re installing a new kitchen or bathroom, if your home is currently cold with mould and condensation problems, insulation, airtightness and ventilation are important factors to consider remedying.

Yes! Cut levies that support #FalseSolutions like #CCS #Biomass #BECCS, etc.
No! Don't cut support for #Retrofit, #WarmHomes and #EnergyEfficiency which should benefit the poorest most! #JustTransition principles are really easy to apply here!
Reeves considers cut to green levies in effort to reduce cost of energy bills

Recommended contractors did an excellent job. Wish I had contacted Loco Home ages ago."

37% of UK homes were built before 1946. Beautiful, but hard to heat.

As Britain races to #decarbonise, the real #retrofit challenge is delivering low-carbon heating and hot water in homes never designed for it.

Wishing wood fibre insulation was as readily available in the UK as it was in France (this was at Brico Depot). This is something I should be able to buy from B&Q or Wickes not limited to specialist suppliers where postage is 3x the item price in some cases.

They even stock wood fibre insulation batts, cellulose too. I’d have got some but i would have preferred 375mm wide
