Our grant funding support services help councils, housing associations, and social landlords access financial support for retrofit and energy improvement programmes. We specialise in navigating government-backed and private funding schemes such as Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), Off-Gas Retrofit Programme (ORP), Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and other grant or incentive programmes.
We provide end-to-end assistance—from eligibility assessment to application submission—ensuring your retrofit projects are fully funded, compliant and deliverable.
Why Funding Support Is Critical for Retrofit Schemes
Retrofit and energy improvement programmes are essential to achieve net zero targets, reduce energy costs and improve resident comfort. However, navigating grant schemes can be complex, with eligibility rules, technical requirements, and compliance obligations.
Our funding support ensures landlords can:
- Identify all relevant grant and funding opportunities
- Prepare robust, compliant applications
- Align retrofit interventions with scheme requirements and technical standards
- Reduce risk of application rejection
- Maximise available funding and project value
We simplify the process, giving you confidence that funding is secured and programme objectives are achievable.
