Retrofit is the process of improving existing homes so they use less energy, stay warmer in winter, and are cheaper to run. Rather than building new properties, retrofit focuses on upgrading what already exists — through better insulation, modern heating systems, and smart energy-saving measures.
The UK's housing stock is some of the oldest and least efficient in Europe, with millions of homes leaking heat through walls, roofs, and windows. Retrofitting these properties is essential for reaching national net-zero targets and reducing household energy bills.
Retrofit projects can range from small upgrades, like loft insulation, to full-scale renovations under government programmes such as ECO4, SHDF, and GBIS. Each project involves a range of skilled professionals — from assessors and designers to coordinators and installers — all working to strict PAS 2035 standards.
At Retrofit Talent, we specialise in recruiting these professionals. Our mission is to connect qualified people with organisations delivering energy-efficient housing improvements across the UK. Whether you are a housing provider looking for trusted contractors or a candidate ready for a new challenge, we help you find the right match quickly and confidently.
Retrofit isn't just about saving energy — it's about improving lives, communities, and the planet.
