An Introduction to RetrofitWorks.

RetrofitWorks has taken a leadership position in the housing refurbishment sector to create a self-sustaining market to transform the poorly performing existing housing stock of the UK.

RetrofitWorks is run for and by each local community, building on existing local supply chains and services, and ensuring more economic and social value – wealth, jobs, skills – is retained in the local area. It has achieved this with two groups of members that drive and deliver not just energy efficiency services but moving into deeper retrofits:
