Sorry, I misunderstood. Thanks for that.

There seems to be a focus on fabric first. That seems to be the way we target the retrofitting of a home, with the wrap and the insulation. Do we run the risk that, if we focus everything on fabric first and everyone is working on that, when we then try to fit heat pumps we have capacity pressures in doing that? Is it possible to fit heat pumps to a home that has not had a full insulation wrap done, with the view to eventually coming back to do the insulation wrap?
