"Build tight- ventilate right", that's the motto of the Energy Savings Trust. To reduce energy consumption and cut CO2 emissions building regulations now require new houses to be almost airtight, very well insulated and properly ventilated using the most efficient means possible. Sounds easy if you’re building from scratch, but what if you already own a house or commercial property? How do you ‘Retrofit tight – ventilate right’?

To bring your home up to or preferably beyond the minimum efficiency standards Solarcrest offer a complete 'whole house' thermal upgrade package. When the basics are fixed and our team are on site we can then offer every eco product under the sun, including solar panels. Here's our process..

Solarcrest  understand that retrofitting an occupied property needs to be a well managed process with minimal disruption. That’s why most of our jobs are completed in the attic or outside the property. Assisting with a new build or refurbishment requires colaboration and co-operation. That’s why we employ time-served builders who
know how to work along side the other trades on site".
