Fixing It First: Retrofit with Enfield Council | RISE Masterclass

About this event

Join us for a peer learning session exploring how housing providers can integrate retrofit into asset management strategies, aligning with repairs, maintenance, and improvement works.

With councils and housing associations under increasing pressure to deliver safe, decent, sustainable homes, and national retrofit costs estimated at £225bn over the next decade, the challenge is significant. Yet by combining funding streams, aligning retrofit with planned works, and engaging residents effectively, retrofit can become a natural part of housing management rather than a separate, costly programme.

This session will explore:

• How retrofit links with asset management and the Decent Homes Standard.
• Trigger points for integration: safety compliance, repairs, and homeowner improvements.
• Funding strategies: combining grants, planned spend, and savings.
• Challenges of integrating measures and projects across teams.
• Practical examples: solar panels with roof works, heating upgrades, insulation during redecorating.
• The importance of collaboration and resident engagement to scale retrofit delivery.

This session is ideal for local authorities, housing associations, asset managers, retrofit coordinators, and contractors seeking practical strategies to integrate retrofit into everyday housing practice.

Speakers: Rafe Bertram, Asset, Retrofit and Sustainability Manager, Enfield Council.
