Retrofit risks
With any building projects, there are poorly designed and poorly executed retrofits which may have a negative impact on the health of your home. A qualified retrofit coordinator, trained designer, architect or building surveyor will assess the risks of any retrofit project and make sure all potential risks are dealt with. This should include issues with damp and mould, ensuring good ventilation and reducing the risk of overheating.
All retrofit projects should make sure that all planning considerations are taken into account. This includes ensuring all works consider conservation areas, planning regulations, building control, and listed buildings. Visit our dedicated retrofit planning web pages for more information.
