Retrofit Delivery Plans
We are upgrading the energy efficiency of council homes with a range of projects to save energy and to help with rising costs. This is known as retrofitting.
As the freeholder, many building-wide energy-efficiency works are our responsibility. Working with the Asset Strategy, Major Works and Repairs Teams we have drafted Retrofit Delivery Plans, which show our planned energy-efficiency works across the city.
Depending on the building, the works may include insulation, double or secondary glazing, new doors, installation of solar panels, upgrades to heating systems and communal lighting. You can read a summary of the types of work below.
Some of the works will be delivered as one-off projects focusing on in-flat work to tenants’ homes, while others will be reviewed as part of building wide major works projects. How each will be delivered will depend on the best way to do the work to get value for money, reduce disruption and keep buildings safe and well maintained.
Whichever way the work is delivered, we will discuss the work with you during the planning stages and give you a chance to have your say.

Please note:
- The plans are up to date as of October 2024 and will be updated each year.
- Where works are planned as part of major works projects, the dates and scope given are based on the current programme. These may change as we consult with residents.
- Individual street properties are not shown in the plans. This is because of the large number of street properties. If you live in one of these, please speak to us on the detail above to find out about any energy saving works to your building.
Types of energy saving work
Cavity Wall Insulation
This is insulation that is put into the space between the inner and outer walls of a building.
Internal Wall Insulation
This is insulation, usually insulation boards, installed on the inside face of an external wall.
Floor Insulation
This is insulation that is put into the space under the floor or the top of the floor is there is space. This can be very disruptive and costly. For these reasons, this type of insulation will be used very rarely as part of the works.
Roof Insulation
This is insulation that is put in the roof space such as a loft or contained in the flat/pitched roof covering.
Windows and Doors
Improving the thermal performance / insulation of windows and doors. Making windows and external doors energy efficient, including draught proofing, helps cut down on heat loss and reduces energy use.
Heating System
Improving the efficiency and energy use for heating systems.
Solar Panels and Battery Storage
Solar panels can be used to generate electricity. The panels work by capturing the sun’s energy and converting it to electricity. Sometimes batteries are installed to store generated electricity into a property that can be used later.
Communal Lighting
Reducing the energy used for communal lighting.
