Social Housing

Our commitment to Social Housing providers

For social housing providers, local authorities, and housing associations, retrofit assessments are the data-driven foundation required to scale up energy efficiency projects across large property portfolios.

Unlike owner-occupier assessments, social housing retrofit assessments must balance strict regulatory compliance

Because of the massive scale of these projects, social landlords rarely hire independent assessors one by one. Instead, they access pre-vetted supply chains through national procurement bodies, such as the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Decarbonisation & Retrofit Framework. These frameworks provide end-to-end delivery: linking PAS 2035 Assessors, Retrofit Coordinators, and TrustMark-registered contractors to guarantee the work complies with government grant guidelines.

Supporting Social Housing Decarbonisation

Rhea Projects is uniquely positioned to support the delivery of the Government's Social Housing Decarbonisation ambitions by utilising our trusted network of installers, retrofit assessors, retrofit coordinators and delivery partners already established through the Cosy Homes in Lancashire (CHiL) programme.

Through years of successful collaboration with local authorities, housing providers and PAS 2035-compliant professionals, Rhea has developed a proven supply chain capable of delivering high-quality retrofit projects at scale.

By utilising this established network, Rhea can provide housing associations and local authorities with a streamlined route from assessment and funding support through to installation and quality assurance, ensuring works are delivered efficiently, compliantly and with minimal disruption to residents.

This approach enables social landlords to accelerate decarbonisation programmes, improve the energy performance of their housing stock and deliver warmer, healthier and more affordable homes for tenants.
