Most types of improvements can be considered, but the approach may differ from standard homes. Options like internal wall insulation, slimline double glazing, secondary glazing, loft insulation, and some renewable technologies are often possible. However, each property requires individual assessment to ensure improvements are appropriate and comply with regulations.

Heritage properties typically require breathable, vapour-permeable materials that work with the building's traditional construction. Specifications may include natural insulation materials, lime-based products, and custom-made elements to preserve original features. The design process involves carefully balancing energy efficiency, heritage preservation, and long-term building health.

Owners of listed buildings or homes in conservation areas may need to obtain planning permission and/or listed building consent for certain improvements. Building regulations approval is also typically required. With our expertise in energy efficiency and heritage conservation we can help navigate these additional requirements successfully.
