For professionals

Deliver high quality retrofit

Householder demand for retrofit in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Herefordshire is rising fast – and contractors are in short supply.

Whole house retrofit is a high value service that isn’t dependent on Government funding – there’s a large ‘Able to Pay’ market. And as we work towards Net Zero Carbon, demand is only going to increase.

Whether you’re already working in retrofit or can see the huge opportunity it provides your business, Future Ready Homes can support you to deliver high quality retrofit with funded training, a pipeline of work ready to start now and ongoing support and advice from our expert panel of structural engineers, architects, green building experts, and heritage professionals.
