We are delighted to be involved in Lewisham Council’s Housing Retrofit Programme, which is part-funded through the Department of Energy’s Warm Homes Fund, to support energy efficiency improvements across its housing stock. This three-year programme (2025-2028) of works will deliver more than £16M of improvements to Lewisham Council’s properties.

Lewisham Council has recently retrofitted The Hermitage as well as other Council-owned properties across the borough and are now working with a new wave of properties.

The aim of the programme is to:

· Reduce energy consumption and household bills
· Mitigate the risk of damp and mould
· Lower carbon emissions
· Improve comfort and indoor temperature regulation
· Raise your property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
· Safeguard the long-term condition of the building

Depending on the specific needs of your home, these works may include insulation, new windows and doors, low-carbon heating systems, solar PV panels, and other enhancements to make your home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and sustainable. Contractors are also being encouraged to do minor repairs while they are on site.

To be eligible you must live in a Lewisham Council property. The majority of the works will be on rented properties, however, if you are a leaseholder in identified properties do get in touch as there is support available.

To read more information about the programme and how you can get involved, visit The Lewisham Retrofit Hub.
