What do we cover in Doncaster?

Coordination with your retrofit assessor and retrofit coordinator
Fabric measures: external, internal and cavity wall insulation, loft and floor insulation
Heating: heat pumps, controls and emitters where specified
Solar PV where it is part of the design
Handover data for lodgement and post-installation evaluation

How do we deliver it?

We do not treat a measure in isolation. If the design adds insulation and airtightness, we make sure the ventilation upgrade is in the same programme, because condensation is the most common retrofit failure.

Which rules apply in Doncaster?

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.
