About Refurb and Retrofit
Independent editorial for the UK’s retrofit transition.
Refurb & Retrofit is a magazine covering the people, policy, and products improving UK homes. We publish practical guides, case studies, and sector analysis - built to be useful for professionals, installers, policymakers, and households.
What we do
- Make it useful: plain-English explanations, checklists, and walk-throughs
- Evidence first: standards-aligned, cited, and updated “living” pages
- Whole-house thinking: fabric, moisture, ventilation—then systems
Our hubs
- For professionals: Retrofit Resources Index - standards, toolkits, council guides, and case studies
- For households: Home Retrofit Guide - a simple plan, grants, and what works
- Directory: UK Retrofit Advice Directory - trusted orgs, training, and official portals
Who we serve
- Built-environment pros (architects, surveyors, coordinators, housing)
- Installers & manufacturers (delivery, training, certification)
- Local & national government (policy, pilots, funding)
- Households (entry-level guidance without jargon)
Editorial principles
- Useful first - if it doesn’t help someone do a job or make a decision, we cut it
- Transparent - we show sources, dates, and keep pages maintained
- Non-partisan - evidence-led, sector-service tone
