Stanwick Energy
Domestic retrofit at scale · Leeds & nationwide
What they look for (Trades & Construction): Surveyors and trained installers willing to do the unglamorous work of insulating Britain's housing stock properly. We hire for thoroughness and for the willingness to redo a job that wasn't right the first time.
What would you bring to a retrofit installer trying to do this work properly?
The unglamorous, essential work of retrofitting British homes — and the firm trying to do it well
Stanwick Energy started as a small insulation contractor in Leeds in 2012. Today it employs 340 people across surveyors, installers, and project coordinators.
Why this work is so hard to do well
Retrofit at scale combines all the difficulty of construction with all the difficulty of working in occupied homes.
How Stanwick approaches quality
The firm operates on PAS 2035 across all its work, employs its own retrofit coordinators rather than subcontracting them.
The skills shortage, honestly
There are not enough trained retrofit professionals in the UK to do the work the country needs.
"The country needs this work done. We would like to be one of the firms that did it without scandal."
