National Retrofit Boom

Date: 30/06/2025

Readyfix – supporting the National Retrofit boom

In June 2025, the UK government rolled out the National Retrofit Strategy – a bold initiative to upgrade millions of older homes across the country. With the construction trade at the heart of delivering these improvements, now is the time to gear up. At Readyfix, we’re ready to supply the essential tools, fixings, and consumables you need to succeed in the retrofit revolution.

What Is the National Retrofit Strategy?

The strategy, backed by a £12 billion funding commitment, aims to make over 15 million UK homes more energy-efficient by 2035. This includes:
· Wall and loft insulation
· Window and door replacements
· Energy-efficient heating systems
· Smart controls and monitoring tech.

For skilled tradespeople – like electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners, and insulation fitters – this brings opportunities for new contracts and increased contract value.

The opportunity for trade professionals
Housing providers such as local councils and housing associations are fast-tracking Retrofit tenders. Contract wins mean:
· More call outs and site visits
· Tight installation schedules
· Specific product requirements
· Higher demand for durable, reliable materials.

Speed and efficiency are key, as falling behind on deadlines means lost revenue. That’s why trades across the UK put their trust in Readyfix to supply the products they need, on time, every time.
