Energy & retrofit marketing

Retrofit and renewables buyers want to know whether it suits their building, what it’ll change and what the claim rests on. We make that clear before the survey, so your team spends its time on enquiries that can go ahead.

Answer ‘will it suit my building?’ before the survey

Homeowners weighing up solar, insulation or a new roof want to know whether it suits their building and what the claim rests on. A short check that explains its answer builds more trust than another promise of lower bills.

It also sends your surveyors to homes where the job can go ahead.

A solar installer’s suitability check. The homeowner sets the roof direction to south-west on a compass, chooses slate as the covering and says nothing much shades it. A result panel says the roof is likely to suit solar panels, explains why, lists what the survey will confirm (the roof structure, shading through the year and the grid connection paperwork) and offers a free survey.

Kingswood ThermaRoof

A year of finished rooms, photographed

ThermaRoof replaces a conservatory’s glass or polycarbonate roof with a solid insulated one. In 2022 we photographed finished rooms for a year of Kingswood’s social content, so homeowners could see the change in real homes.

Questions about energy and retrofit marketing

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

How do you market renewable energy and retrofit services?

Explain whether it suits the customer’s building, what it will change and what the claim rests on, then make the survey easy to book. Search and social bring homeowners to that explanation; quick follow-up turns interest into a survey.

How do we avoid greenwashing?

Make every environmental claim specific and back it with evidence a customer could check, such as test data, certification or measured results. The Advertising Standards Authority publishes guidance on green claims, and we write to it.

Do you work with manufacturers as well as installers?

Yes. DEKS sells roofing, drainage, solar and plumbing products to merchants and installers, and our work for it covers social, creative, advertising and email.

Can you photograph our installations?

Yes. Our in-house team photographs and films finished installations, as we did for Kingswood’s ThermaRoof, so your marketing shows real homes rather than stock images.
