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
