Unlock your home’s energy efficiency with an Ecofurb Plan. Tailored home retrofit advice, from £645.
Our expert guidance and advanced home energy assessment diagnostics help you create a clear and cost-effective plan of action for your home retrofit project.
We survey your home, taking measurements and photographs, including a Matterport Survey – a virtual tour recording of your home using 360° photography – to support detailed whole house advice from the Retrofit Coordinator, as well as quotes/measurements for installers.
1) It can save you time and money in installer communication.
The Matterport survey creates a detailed digital copy (or ‘digital twin’) of your home. This helps you communicate with installers easily and avoid mistakes that could lead to costly rework.
2) It can reduce architectural drafting costs.
The included floor plans and elevation drawings offer architects a precise and reliable starting point for their design work, potentially reducing initial site visits and measurement time.
3) It can simplify future planning permission applications.
The accurate spatial data and documentation provided by the Matterport survey streamline the process of preparing and submitting planning permission applications for future renovations or extensions.

We assess your home’s heritage and architectural features to ensure they are respected and protected throughout your project. We will only recommend measures suitable for the fabric of the building, and which won’t lead to more problems than you’ve solved!
We’ll assess the construction and condition of your home, and get your views to understand how easy it is to heat the home, and how it can be made easier and cleaner to heat through a mix of insulation, smart heating controls and low carbon heating.
(Please note that a heating installer will also do their own heat loss calculations home survey before quoting to install an air source heat pump. Go to our FAQs for more on this.)
We will identify the constraints on the building that may prevent particular energy efficiency measures or low carbon heating options being installed. These could include the condition of the property, or planning restrictions.
We will identify any energy efficiency measures already installed so we don’t recommend works you have already completed. If you have detail on their performance, we can use that data.
We aim to identify defects and structural issues, including damp and mould, so we can identify how energy efficiency and ventilation could help, or how issues could affect retrofit plans.
For example, one of our customers would like to install cavity wall insulation, but their wall is very wet in one place due to a broken gutter. We advised that they fix the gutter, let the wall dry out and then get quotes for the insulation.
“It was all useful as an overall assessment of things I half knew but was unsure about – especially the order of priority/effectiveness of which things would provide more bang for the buck.” James, Stratford
Our Retrofit Coordinators will prepare an Ecofurb Plan for your home upgrade which takes into account your budget, your priorities, and all the relevant options for your home.
Crucially, they’ll also recommend in what order each measure should be installed, so you can plan work over time without the risk of having to re-work early installations.
Finally, the Retrofit Coordinator will offer you a 30-minute consultation to talk through the detail, so you can be confident your Ecofurb Plan can help you reach your energy efficiency goals.
An Ecofurb Plan is priced depending on the size of your home:
If your home has 7 or more bedrooms, please get in touch with us for a quote.
Drone photography, borescope cavity wall insulation survey or air tightness tests may be available at an extra cost. They are subject to your location and we will quote you for these, if interested, once you have bought an Ecofurb Plan for your home.
If your home has an annexe (self-contained dwelling with it’s own separate heating system), you can also include this in your Ecofurb Plan for an additional fee – we will quote for this.
Please see our pricing page for a full breakdown of costs.
If you’re a successful applicant to the Green Homes Wales scheme, head over to this page for more information on how to book your Home Assessment and Recommendation Plan.
Click below to order your Plan, and we will be in touch within five working days to organise your Retrofit Assessor to visit at a time convenient for you.
The survey will take about two hours, and the booking team will talk you through what you need to do to prepare for the Home Survey.
We will also send you a Customer Questionnaire to understand more about your priorities and your home.
Once these are complete, and have passed our quality control, one of our Retrofit Coordinators will provide you with your Plan.
Our Ecofurb Experts are here to help you get your home future-fit, even if you only want to install one or two measures and don’t want a comprehensive home retrofit plan.
We can still help you get quotes by referring you onto one of our trusted installers.
