Sustainability Planning Support

Strategic sustainability support for homes and property portfolios

Sustainability planning is about more than just ticking boxes. It’s about creating a clear, long-term strategy for reducing energy use, lowering carbon emissions, and improving the comfort and performance of your buildings.

At E&F Retrofit Services Ltd, we provide sustainability planning support that is grounded in real building data and decades of experience in the energy and housing sector.

Based in Wrexham, we work with homeowners, landlords, housing providers, and organisations across North and Mid Wales to develop realistic, achievable sustainability plans.

What is sustainability planning support?

Our sustainability planning support service helps you understand where your property or portfolio is today, and how to move it towards a more efficient, lower-carbon future.

We bring together survey findings, energy assessments, and retrofit best practice to create a clear, step-by-step approach.

Plans can be focused on a single home, a group of properties, or a wider housing portfolio, depending on your needs.

How we support your sustainability goals

1. Baseline Assessment

We begin by understanding the current position, which may include:

• Existing EPC ratings and energy performance data
• Findings from retrofit assessments and technical fabric surveys
• Current heating, ventilation, and insulation standards
• Common issues such as damp, cold rooms, or high energy use

This baseline gives a clear starting point for planning future improvements.

2. Identifying Opportunities for Improvement

Using the baseline data, we identify practical opportunities to:

• Improve insulation and reduce heat loss
• Upgrade heating and hot water systems
• Enhance ventilation and indoor air quality
• Introduce low-carbon or renewable technologies where suitable

We focus on measures that are technically appropriate and deliver strong long-term value.

3. Phased Retrofit and Upgrade Planning

Not every improvement needs to happen at once. We help you:

• Prioritise measures with the greatest impact
• Plan improvements in logical stages
• Align works with maintenance cycles and budgets
• Reduce disruption for occupants wherever possible

This phased approach makes sustainability improvements more manageable and affordable over time.

4. Supporting Compliance and Policy Alignment

Energy standards and expectations are changing. Our sustainability planning support can help you:

• Prepare for future EPC and energy efficiency requirements
• Align with PAS 2035 retrofit principles
• Support funding applications and local initiatives

We ensure your plans are not only practical, but aligned with current and emerging guidance.

5. Clear, Actionable Reporting

We provide clear, easy-to-understand reports that set out:

• Current performance and key risks
• Recommended measures and priorities
• Indicative benefits and long-term outcomes

This gives you a roadmap you can share with stakeholders, contractors, or internal teams.

• Individual homeowners wanting a long-term improvement plan
