Cosy Homes Oxfordshire

We will be supporting the screening of the Peoples Emergency Briefing in Charlbury on the Thursday and Friday, and will be offering advice to anyone who would like to improve the comfort of their home with growing periods of more extreme weather.

There are still tickets available for the showing on Friday. This is a must watch film which people are praising as an eye-opening and urgent wake up call, but with a strongly hopeful message!

Most retrofit isn't bad. But the gap between "okay" and "great" can mean a colder home, condensation, or wasted spend.

So what does good retrofit actually look like? Here are the five things you should expect from anyone working on your home, whether you're a homeowner, a council procuring at scale, or a community group planning a programme.

1. A whole-home assessment before anyone quotes
2. Whole-house thinking, not a single measure
3. A named Retrofit Coordinator overseeing the work
4. Certified, vetted, accountable professionals (MCS, TrustMark)
5. A ventilation strategy designed in, not bolted on

RetrofitWorks is a co-operative of certified retrofit professionals delivering schemes across the UK. We exist because retrofit at scale only works if quality scales with it.

We’ve recently completed a successful home retrofit project right here in Headington, helping improve energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term value for a local property.

To share what’s possible, our team has been out in the area dropping leaflets about how similar improvements could benefit their homes. Every property is different but many have untapped potential when it comes to insulation, energy use, and overall performance.

If you’ve received one of our leaflets, it’s worth taking a closer look. Whether you’re just curious or seriously considering upgrades, we’re here to help you understand your options clearly and honestly.

We offer free, no-obligation advice- just practical guidance to help you make informed decisions about your home.

It was lovely to revisit Jane, and not just because she has the best biscuits around! Geordie took thermal images to see how things are performing.
There's such a notable difference between the rooms which have been insulated, and we're now looking towards phase two, focused on a guest room which has 3 external walls and really struggles with the cold.
