Our story
We are a not-for-profit service for householders in Greater Manchester, offering clear, independent advice and support to help householders plan, procure and deliver retrofit projects for local people to a high standard.
Established with Government support and initiated by community energy co-operative, Carbon Co-op, and design and research cooperative, URBED, our aim is to help more householders in Greater Manchester to retrofit their properties.
We offer a range of services to help people achieve their retrofit goals. From designing their project to helping them procure the best contractors; overseeing quality assurance to offering impartial, expert advice, we can help people every step of the way. If they want, we can manage the entire process or just help with specific phases – it’s up to them.
