Which rules apply in the North East?
Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt. Most repairs and like-for-like replacements are exempt, but heating systems, fuse boxes and glazing units are not.
What does it cost in the North East?
Our guide range for whole-house retrofit towards EPC C in the North East is £12,150–£21,250 per home. That is the UK range of £13,500–£23,600 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 0.89–0.93); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Photo evidence is taken at each stage of each measure, including the details that end up hidden behind finishes, because funding audits usually ask for it.

Why does ventilation matter in retrofit?
Insulating and sealing a home without improving ventilation can trap moisture and cause condensation and mould. PAS 2035 requires a ventilation assessment for that reason.
