Blackheath Retrofit
Project type
Planning Permission
Date
2023
Location
Blackheath, London
Victorian home retrofitted with solar and heat pump in conservation area
This conservation-area home in Blackheath underwent a full energy retrofit. Solar panels were integrated discreetly on less-visible roof slopes. A new heat pump replaced gas heating.
The installation strategy preserved all visible architectural features. Internally, the home now uses low-energy systems for lighting, ventilation, and water heating. Glazing and insulation were upgraded where possible.
Coordination with conservation officers ensured compliance and reversibility. No alterations were made to listed features.
This retrofit is a template for how to bring heritage homes into line with climate goals.
