The Retrofit Reset: Beyond Grants to Long Term Delivery

29 Sept 2026
Building Envelope Stage
Building Envelope Stage

Government grants have played an important role in kickstarting retrofit, but they won't deliver the scale or pace of home upgrades the UK needs on their own. This session explores what comes next. How do we move beyond short-term funding towards a stable, long-term retrofit market that gives homeowners, landlords, local authorities and industry the confidence to invest? What policies, finance models and delivery approaches are needed to make retrofit the easy choice rather than the exception? Join leaders from across the sector as they discuss how we can build a national retrofit system that creates sustained demand, attracts investment and delivers warmer homes, lower energy bills and lasting economic growth. Together, we'll explore what it will take to turn retrofit from a series of programmes into a market that works for everyone.
