REFYT is a PAS 2035 retrofit and green energy contractor. We deliver Warm Homes and social housing retrofit programmes across London, Essex and Kent, working directly for local authorities and housing providers and in partnership with Tier 1 contractors. Our work improves the energy efficiency of people's homes through insulation, ventilation, heating and renewable measures.
