BIRCHFIELD RETROFIT · WHOLE-HOUSE PLAN

Twelve weeks from draughty to done.

This is the plan for a typical 1930s semi: insulation outside and in, new windows, a heat pump and fresh-air ventilation. Your survey sets the real dates, but the order never changes.

Who is on site, week by week

Filled: our own team · brand outline: specialist trades · dark outline: independent test
Weeks are counted from the day the scaffold goes up. Wall insulation and the windows overlap on purpose, so the new frames sit inside the insulation line.
CAN WE STAY IN?

Yes, apart from the fortnight the windows go in
