Getting ready for Warm Homes Wave 3

13/02/2025

Jamie Abbott

In November 2024 the housing sector applied for around £2bn of Government funding for housing retrofit. Allocations are expected sometime in March 2025.* (Timelines are slightly different for devolved areas of WMCA & GMCA – but broadly the principles below still apply)

As we await the biggest slice of government retrofit funding to date, we need to be investing in our people, our processes and our relationships.

Yet capacity is stretched.  Delivery teams are under pressure to close out Wave 2, while also preparing for Wave 3. Procurement activity, given the coming demand, seems strangely quiet. Supply chain cashflow and opportunities are uncertain.

So what can the sector do now to prepare for a successful Wave 3 – and to safeguard the capacity and skills built up in previous waves?
