North London floor insulation for period homes
We insulate below your original timber floors with minimal disruption, for maximum comfort
For many London homeowners, period charm comes with a chill
Cold floors, draughty gaps, and inefficient heating are all-too-common in Edwardian and Victorian homes. But most insulation options are messy, expensive, or simply not worth the upheaval.
That’s where Retrovive comes in
We specialise in high-performance underfloor insulation, installed efficiently and carefully. Because we don't need to lift every floorboard there is no need to remove skirting boards or raise the floor level. Just a smarter, quieter route to a more comfortable home.
We have warmed homes in Haringey, Finchley, Hackney, Camden and Barnet, throughout London and right across the South and East of England - so we know exactly what we're doing.
The Retrovive difference
Retrovive underfloor insulation is expertly installed, minimising disruption to your home. By lifting only a few floorboards we insulate the whole room with cellulose fibre, leaving your home feeling much warmer.

Honestly, I've never experienced such proactive, attentive and informative communication from another company before. The installer on the day was also fantastic, explaining what he was doing, asking us questions and showing us the work as he went along. Such a good team. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Retrovive came in December 2024 to insulate under the floorboards of the living room, dining room and hallway in our Victorian terraced house. The team were very friendly and did excellent work, causing minimal disruption - they seemed to take real pride in doing a good job...

Our living area has been transformed! Having been used to wafts of cold air rising through the floor, the work of the Retrovive team has felt revelatory, with the space now cosy and the floor comfortable to wander around on. The team were friendly, professional and efficient...

The team carried out work on our property in 2023. They were thorough and the job was carried out well from start to finish. We enjoyed having them around and it has transformed our house. Thank you.
