Unlocking the Potential of Your Buildings & InteriorsÂ
Energy Efficiency ⬥ Interiors ⬥ Building Health ⬥ Heritage
Rooted in heritage expertise and working across buildings of all ages, we help owners, occupiers and investors create high-performing, sustainable spaces that reduce risk, improve health, drive energy efficiency and increase profitability.
Whether you need to boost your EPC rating, ensure climate resilience or create a thoughtful working environment that ensures people thrive, read on to explore how our award-winning support will boost your triple bottom line and competitive edge.
Building Health
Your indoor environment directly impacts the health, productivity and performance of those inside, while offering significant financial benefits through reduced risk and costs, improved energy efficiency and enhanced asset value.Â
Interiors
Designing with the environment in mind. From advice to full installation, we provide residential, office, leisure, education & heritage clients with a range of services that streamline projects, reduce waste & minimise cost.
Behaviour Change
Spending money on energy efficiency is fruitless without ensuring occupants know how to use the tech or understand how to get the best from their working environment. We create that culture change to deliver real return on your investments.
Improving Energy Efficiency in Heritage Buildings
Synonymous with regenerating Nottingham’s Lace Market and eco-heritage office landlords ourselves, we know – and love – heritage buildings. We bring over 40 years’ first-hand, commercially-grounded experience helping heritage and listed building owners, landlords and occupants adapt, decarbonise and perform better without losing what makes them special. Working across a range of sectors, we provide practical, pragmatic advice and hands-on project support that works in the real world.
Improving energy efficiency in heritage buildings doesn’t need to feel ‘challenging’, ‘problematic’ or ‘overwhelming’. It simply calls for a nuanced understanding and a shared language between carbon, conservation and cost that we’ve been refining at Spenbeck for over four decades. We help you reduce energy use and running costs while caring for, and celebrating, the story your building tells and those that work within it.
Explore our multi-award-winning Grade II-listed Birkin Building project below as an example of what we can make possible for you. Whether you’re looking to improve energy efficiency, improve asset value, share your story or fully regenerate your heritage asset we can help you realise its potential. If you’d like to explore the opportunities and want clear and friendly guidance we’d be pleased to talk.
From energy audits, sympathetic retrofitting and EPC upgrades to MEES compliance and Green Lease guidance, we drive environmental outcomes that increase yields, asset value, climate resilience and occupant experience.
Explore how we can help you preserve and celebrate your social, industrial & architectural heritage to deliver social value. Â

We Come Well Recommended
Our client, tenants and partners have great things to say about us, read why they’ve partnered with us.
“I want to say how impressed we are at Historic England with the Birkin Building project. I don’t think I’m overstating it in saying that it represents the very best of conservation-led regeneration – an exemplary building repair project twinned with a vibrant new use in one of the most significant conservation areas in the country. This is stewardship in its best sense”.
“Blueprint’s approach is ‘People, Place and Planet’. Sincerely delivering against these three principles is an essential ingredient that is found in all the great places in our world. When we realised that Spenbeck was doing this by taking an ethical and values-driven approach we instantly knew that we needed to be part of that’.”
“Spenbeck poured its extensive heritage retrofitting expertise into transforming a former nightclub into a stunning and sustainable Grade II listed office we are very proud to call home, and which has significantly boosted our recruitment of both staff and clients”.
“Victoria at Spenbeck has provided inspiration and distinct focus for our new office design from initial plan and mood boards to final delivery – really understanding what we need to create for a that wow factor contemporary working environment that combined great vision with perfect functionality. She was absolutely fearless in pushing us to open our minds to new ideas and approaches, whilst incorporating the logistical and technological practicalities that inevitably underpin office needs.”
“From start to finish, the process was incredibly straightforward. Becky enabled us to have as much or as little input as we felt comfortable with as she worked around our busy schedules. As an SME, we were delighted to see that the recommendations provided were simple to understand and quick to implement – with a number of low-cost quick wins available to us.
It was enlightening to see how we could make a difference so quickly to our building health and Becky’s work has set us clear goals to aim for both in the short and long-term.”
“A Lace Market office location was key for us to grow and a Spenbeck creative space ticked all the boxes. The landlord’s proactivity and flexibility of bespoke fit out makes us to feel that our office is our own rather than a rented space. The high ceilings, exposed Victorian features in the former lace warehouse and becoming part of Spenbeck’s tenant community means we have found the perfect place to connect with other businesses, attract and retain staff and clients, enabling us to thrive.”
“Becky worked with us on the development and delivery of a pilot Engagement module for our ‘Leading for Climate Action’ leadership programme, and subsequently provided facilitation skills learning for the Trust’s delivery team. Her insight and experience in climate literacy development added considerable value to our work creating this programme, and her professionalism and flexible approach make her a pleasure to work with – thank you, Becky.”
