Retrofit plans

Tuesday 16th July- Kentish Town Community Centre (location)

6:20pm for a prompt 6.30pm start

Our next Retrofit Kentish Town session is about Retrofit Plans.

Getting started with a home retrofit project can be confusing as you grapple with options and constraints. A retrofit plan will help you understand which measures to prioritise and how to get started.

In this interactive session we’ll hear from experts who create these plans, as well as from residents who have commissioned them. This will be a valuable event for anyone who is considering retrofitting their home in the future.
