Help Shape Save Our Sheffield Terrace!
We're developing a project to Save Our Sheffield Terrace and we're looking for people who'd like to help shape it.

Help Shape Save Our Sheffield Terrace
We're developing a project to Save Our Sheffield Terrace and we're looking for people who'd like to help shape it.
For nearly 200 years, Sheffield's terraces have been home to generations of people, industrial workers, and families, students, immigrants, all contributing to a diversity that makes our city what it is today. We want to make sure that these homes are fit for future generations to enjoy in an ever changing climate.
We believe these homes are part of our shared heritage. By understanding their history, celebrating the people who have lived in them and caring for them appropriately, they can continue to provide healthy, sustainable homes for generations to come.
We're looking for local residents, historians, heritage organisations, artists, architects, retrofit specialists, community groups and anyone passionate about Sheffield's history to help us develop ideas around:
📚 Local history and archives
🎙️ Oral histories and storytelling
🏡 Caring for historic homes, retrofitting for a net zero future
🌿 Heritage, conservation and climate resilience
🤝 Community engagement and exhibitions
If you'd like to get involved, support the bid, share ideas or simply find out more, we'd love to hear from you.
[email protected]
Please share with anyone who cares about Sheffield's homes, history and future.
This is an opportunity to help shape a future heritage project exploring home, heritage, migration, belonging and the stories that connect Sheffield's communities across generations.

We are a local community interest company and do "retrofit" / energy efficiency work in the area. The insulation we install helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. 🏡 🔥 🌎

Here are some photos of our latest loft insulation and boarding job where we transformed a dusty, unused loft into a clean, practical storage space. 👍

At SY Ecofit CIC, we've been having a busy start to the summer! Out and about in the local area helping residents improve their homes through a range of energy efficiency (or "retrofit") works. 🏡🔥🌍

We cover everything in-house from home energy surveys to design & build. Popular measures include:

* Floor insulation
* Loft insulation & boarding for storage
* Draught proofing & ventilation upgrades
* Wall insulation
* Attic insulation (no more overheating! 🥵)

We specialise in using natural/breathable insulation systems that work well in older Sheffield houses.

Join us for our next retrofit / energy efficiency event in Sharrow!

25/05/2026

At SY Ecofit CIC, we specialise in "retrofit" and energy efficiency solutions that help local residents create greener homes that are cheaper to run, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. 🏡🌍💷

Lately, we've been getting a lot of interest in our roof insulation work because many Sheffield attics tend to overheat as the temperature outside rises. 🥵

Our solutions use wood fibre insulation, which is natural/breathable and buffers heat much better than synthetic products like Kingspan.

We've also been doing plenty of floor insulation and airtightness work, as well as ventilation upgrades to improve airflow. 🌬️

Join us for tea & snacks from 6:30pm at Walkley Ebenezer - FREE!

Job done! 💪

On our latest project, we lifted the floor in this open-plan living/dining room, installed a breather membrane in "hammocks" using timber lath, then insulated to joist depth with 150mm of Steicoflex 036 flexible wood fibre insulation. 🏡 🔥 🌍

The next stage was to install a P5 moisture-resistant chipboard deck and airtightness tape all joints and wall junctions to prevent cold draughts entering from the subfloor and to stop airborne moisture causing interstitial condensation within the insulation itself.

This ground floor is now airtight, insulated and ready to be carpeted.

Interested in making similar improvements to your home in time for the autumn? We can insulate floors from above and below, depending on access. Drop us a line at - www.ecofit.uk 👍

PASSIVE VENTS 🌬️

These types of vents provide much needed air flow to our rooms. They can help improve air quality while allowing stale/damp air to leave the house.

Problem = people often block up these vents with silicone, or debris can collect in cavity walls and stop vents from functioning correctly. 👀

Here, we removed the old vent, cleaned out the airbrick and cavity, installed a new sleeve and added a "hit & miss" open/close cover. The customer now has greater control of air flow to the room. 👍
