Right to Pay for Retrofitting
Many homes across the UK are cold, hard to heat, and expensive to run. Retrofitting simply means upgrading an existing home to make it warmer, more energy-efficient, and cheaper to live in — for example through better insulation, improved heating, or draught-proofing.
​
The Right to Pay for Retrofitting is about giving homeowners the clear right to pay for these improvements, even when permissions, shared ownership, or building rules make it difficult to do so.
​
At the moment, many people who own their homes want to improve energy efficiency but are held back by legal or structural barriers. This right would remove unnecessary obstacles, allowing homeowners to invest in sensible, approved upgrades that improve comfort, lower energy bills, and reduce carbon emissions.
​
A warmer, more efficient home benefits everyone — and people should have the right to improve the homes they own.
RFAs for HAs & Local Authorities
We provide high-quality retrofit assessments tailored specifically for housing associations, councils, and social housing providers, supporting large-scale improvement programmes with accuracy, consistency, and compliance at the core.
​
Our assessments are carried out in line with PAS 2035, ensuring a whole-dwelling approach that considers the property as a complete system. This allows our clients to make informed decisions on energy efficiency upgrades, improve EPC performance, and support funding or compliance requirements with confidence.
​
We also align our approach with BS 40104, reinforcing our focus on building performance evaluation and ensuring our assessments reflect real-world property conditions, risks, and opportunities.
​
With the ability to manage high-volume survey programmes, we deliver reliable outputs at scale without compromising on detail or quality. Every assessment is completed with a strong emphasis on data accuracy, clear reporting, and practical recommendations—helping you plan retrofit works efficiently across single properties or entire housing portfolios.
​
Whether you’re preparing for planned maintenance, decarbonisation programmes, or funding-backed upgrades, our retrofit assessment service provides the robust foundation needed to move forward with confidence.
