Retrofit Works
Social housing landlords and local authorities are under increasing pressure to improve the energy performance of their housing stock - with funding deadlines, compliance obligations and resident expectations all bearing down at once. Getting retrofit right means having an accredited, experienced installer you can rely on to deliver to standard, on time and fully documented.
Trent Energy's Retrofit Works Division is here to take that pressure off you. We deliver government-funded energy efficiency upgrades to social housing and residential properties across the UK, working as an accredited installer within established delivery partnerships alongside energy companies, principal contractors and social housing landlords.
