If you’re reading this, you’re likely one of the 29 million UK homeowners who could enhance their property’s efficiency. Insulating and upgrading can lead to a more comfortable home and lower energy costs.
Retrofitting has become a key strategy in the movement toward energy-efficient, comfortable, and sustainable buildings. By incorporating retrofitting measures, homeowners can significantly reduce carbon emissions, lower energy costs, and address issues such as poor ventilation and dampness.
With energy prices soaring and government funding opportunities available, now is the perfect time to improve your home’s energy efficiency. If you’re planning a refurbishment, it’s crucial to assess the need for retrofit measures, including insulation, ventilation, and modern heating systems. These enhancements not only create a more comfortable living environment but also contribute to long-term savings on energy bills.
At DK Building, we are committed to helping homeowners navigate the retrofitting process. Our expert team can provide tailored solutions to ensure your property meets modern energy standards.

Case Study





This approach allowed the home to maintain its original appearance while significantly improving energy performance. The front wall was painted to seamlessly blend with neighboring properties. We lifted the timber floors to install a breathable membrane and high-quality insulation between the joists, ensuring warmth and comfort. For wall insulation, we employed a rigid polystyrene system covered with a base coat and silicone-based render, minimising disruption while enhancing thermal efficiency. This retrofit demonstrates DK Building’s commitment to energy efficiency, providing homeowners with professional guidance and execution for successful projects.

DK Building are happy to help clients with an initial assessment of their property followed by a plan to carry out recommended improvements...
Since 2008 every property has to have a valid EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) which rates the property from A (very energy efficient and cheaper to run) down to G (not at all energy efficient and expensive to run).
There is a government website where you can check the EPC for your property – domestic or commercial – and find information about how to reduce your carbon emissions and energy performance.
At DK Building, we offer expert installation of underfloor heating and heat pump systems designed to maximise your home’s energy efficiency. Together, these solutions can significantly enhance your EPC rating, making your property more environmentally friendly and cost-effective to run. Let us help you create a more energy-efficient home.
Underfloor Heating
At DK Building, we specialise in retrofitting underfloor heating systems to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. Our underfloor heating provides a quiet, luxurious warmth throughout your living spaces without the need for traditional radiators. Recently, we installed this innovative heating solution across 50 sq.m. in a residential property undergoing a complete transformation. Once the final screed is in place, you can easily lay carpet or tiles on top, creating a seamless and stylish finish.
Experience the benefits of underfloor heating with DK Building, where we prioritise energy efficiency and exceptional comfort in every project.

We recently had a downstairs renovation completed by DK Building. This involved knocking through a wall, building a new utility room, new floor, blocking up a door, replacing radiators, and making a kitchen space ready for installers, as well as other numerous smaller jobs.
Throughout the whole process, DK were always professional, punctual, and polite. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they were very flexible when it came to new jobs that came up during the build. For example, they raised our kitchen floor level so it is on the same level as the dining room floor, even though this was not part of the original spec. They also installed our kitchen worktops when the originals fell through and we had to make alternative arrangements. I have nothing but good things to say about them, and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Special thank you's to Daniel and Richard for their fantastic project management, Marcin for his seamless electrical work, Berian for the smoothest plastering you'll ever see, Wes, Kamil and Bart for completing too many jobs to a very high level of quality to mention here, Zibi for doing the worktops (they look great!), Paul and Chris for doing the knockthrough and other work, and to Katy in the office for her excellent organisation and quick replies to emails. Thank you everyone!
