RETROFIT ACTION WEEK GREATER MANCHESTER 2025

(Places are booking fast for this event).

Your Home Better invites you to join a free guided tour around an award winning zero carbon retrofit in Old Trafford.

This Old Trafford terrace has been retrofitted to be a net-zero operational home, producing all the energy it needs for a year. The project, awarded the 2025 North West Construction Retrofit Award, proves existing housing can be upgraded without losing character.

Guided tours start on the hour and last 45 minutes. See first-hand how insulation, heat pumps, and solar batteries work, and speak with the homeowners about their experience, comfort levels, and energy savings.

Discover how circular retrofit can transform existing facilities.
In this webinar, Material Index will share practical insights on the challenges, opportunities, and real impact of circularity in retrofit — beyond construction alone.
You’ll learn:

• Why circularity is key to sustainable retrofit
• How to gather the right data to make it work
• The value it creates for owners, occupiers, and the supply chain driving innovation
