From Cold to Cosy - How to Retrofit a Victorian Home - FREE House Tour

Join us on Saturday 11th October to learn all about Victorian homes and how to make them cosy and warm - without high energy bills. Enjoy a guided tour from the homeowners themselves, as they explain what improvements they've made and how much they cost.

We love heritage homes for their character and charm. But we know only too well how draughty, damp and cold they can be! Sarah and Andrew found they couldn't even get their kids into the bathroom it was so cold. Happily, help was at hand from the retrofit experts at Shrewsbury charity Marches Energy Agency.

An expert assessment of their home recommended internal wall insulation, solid floor insulation, improvements to the bathroom and a new air source heat pump. Enjoy a fascinating tour of this ordinary home which has been brought into the 21st century with sustainable materials and a very clever heating system.

There will be two guided tours: 10-11:30am and 11:30am-1pm.

The experts from Marches Energy Agency will be on hand to answer your energy and retrofit questions. Light refreshments provided.
