The Natureworks Retrofit Service

Retrofitting your home is one of the most powerful steps you can take towards a healthier, more sustainable future. At Natureworks Design, we provide a complete retrofit service — guiding you from first assessment through to delivery, and offering ongoing support to ensure your home continues to perform.

Step 1: Sustainability & Health Audit

Every retrofit begins with understanding where you are now. Our audit assesses your home’s energy performance, indoor health, and environmental footprint. We look at insulation, heating, ventilation, air quality, daylight, and water use, and provide you with a clear report highlighting practical steps — from quick wins to long-term investments.

Step 2: Funding Options

Retrofit is an investment, but it doesn’t have to feel out of reach. We help you explore the different funding options available, from government grants and green mortgages to phased approaches that spread costs over time. The right financial pathway means you can start improving your home sooner and with greater confidence.

Step 3: Trusted Builders and Delivery

Retrofit requires the right team on site. We connect you with trusted builders and specialists who understand sustainable construction and can deliver to high standards. We stay involved through the design and build process to make sure work is carried out in line with your goals and our recommendations.

Step 4: Optional Ongoing Monitoring

A retrofit isn’t just a one-off upgrade — it’s a step on the journey to net zero. With optional monitoring, we track your home’s performance after works are complete. This includes:

  • Checking that systems are working as expected.

  • Measuring energy use, air quality, and comfort over time.

  • Showing how your property compares to net zero benchmarks.

  • Offering an ongoing dialogue to fine-tune performance and plan the next steps.

Monitoring turns your retrofit into a living project — one that continues to improve and adapt.

Step 5: Being Part of Something Bigger

Your retrofit is not just about your home — it’s part of a national and local movement towards net zero. The UK has committed to reaching net zero by 2050, and for that to happen, millions of homes need to be retrofitted.

We’ll show you how your borough is performing against net zero targets, how many homes in your area need upgrades each year, and where your project fits into that picture. It’s a way of connecting your home improvements to a bigger collective effort — one where individual action adds up to real change.
