Sustainable Building Services is one of the UK’s largest providers of retrofit residential decarbonisation works. Working with social housing and private residential property, we manage and deliver large-scale energy efficiency, low-carbon technology and whole-house retrofit schemes to MCS / PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 Standards.

Experience spanning decades

We were one of the first UK contractors to deliver PAS 2035-compliant schemes at scale, and to take an area-based approach, blending funding across mixed-tenures to maximise impact across communities.

Our work improves the health, comfort and well-being of thousands of mixed-tenure households each year. It also addresses issues relating to fuel-poverty and the cost-of-living crisis, while helping to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. All of this supports the UK’s progress towards meeting net zero targets.

Residential Decarbonisation

We deliver projects through all decarbonisation and energy efficiency / low-carbon funding streams. Where possible, we blend funding on a project-by-project and/or dwelling-by-dwelling basis, to increase uptake and maximise impact across an area or region:

Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF)
Home Upgrade Grant (HUG)
Energy Company Obligation (ECO)
Client funded projects

As a turnkey provider, we can take responsibility for the end-to-end retrofit journey. We provide surety to clients and stakeholders that all aspects and stages of their decarbonisation projects will be delivered in compliance with TrustMark requirements and the demands of specific funding schemes.

In addition to retrofit decarbonisation project delivery, our services include stock / asset and funding management, mixed tenure / private home acquisition, retrofit assessment / coordination / design services, and EEM / MCS installation.

Collaboration and Expertise

Our approach to decarbonisation project management is based around full collaboration; working in partnership with project stakeholders. This is crucial when developing, planning, managing and delivering decarbonisation projects at scale.

To support this approach, we have specifically developed a network of trusted suppliers and partners, including PAS 2035 service providers and energy efficiency / low-carbon technology installers. They complement our in-house capacity and capabilities, enabling us to mobilise retrofit projects within industry-leading timeframes.

This also allows us to support, identify and maximise funding for clients whilst, importantly, ensuring projects are delivered in compliance with standards, funding requirements and deadlines.

The success of our approach was recently recognised via the retrofit decarbonisation sector’s most acclaimed national accolade, The Retrofit Academy’s Retrofit Contractor of the Year Award. This endorses excellence at scale, meeting PAS 2035 principles, consistent delivery of high-quality resident engagement, innovation, high-quality whole-house retrofit projects, and providing career pathways within the retrofit sector.
