Profession
What a Retrofit Installer does
A Retrofit Installer is the person or company that physically installs energy-efficiency measures — cavity, external, internal, loft, glazing, doors, and draught-proofing — under PAS 2030 as part of a PAS 2035 domestic retrofit project. The installer works to the coordinator’s design intent and specification rather than deciding the measure package alone.
The role is practical but heavily governed. Installers must follow the installation process, check that a coordinator is in place, protect required ventilation, record their own evidence and photographs, deal with non-conformances, and hand over correctly so the work can be audited and lodged through the TrustMark data framework.
Certification and testing
How installers are normally certified and tested
Installers usually work for a business certified to PAS 2030 for the specific measures they install, and individual operatives hold the relevant trade competence for those measures. Certification is measure-specific, so an installer approved for loft insulation is not automatically approved for external wall insulation.
Assessment combines knowledge of the PAS 2030 process and product-specific installation practice with on-site evidence: correct preparation, workmanship to system requirements, ventilation provision, defect handling, and complete handover records that a certification body or coordinator can audit.

Core-A — PAS 2030 Process & Compliance
This core unit sets the PAS 2030 process: confirming a coordinator is in place, working to the design and specification, and building the compliance and evidence trail around every installation.
Core-B — Ventilation & EEM Interactions
Core-B is about not creating unintended consequences: keeping adequate ventilation when the dwelling is made more airtight, and understanding how one measure affects another.
M1 — Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity wall insulation covers suitability checks, correct fill, and the quality controls that stop gaps, bridging, and moisture tracking across the cavity.
M2 — External Wall Insulation
External wall insulation focuses on system build-up, fixings, detailing at junctions and openings, and workmanship that keeps water out and thermal performance in.
M3 — Internal Wall Insulation
Internal wall insulation is the highest moisture-risk measure, so this unit stresses build-up, vapour control, junction detailing, and avoiding cold-bridge and condensation problems.
M4 — Loft Insulation
Loft insulation covers correct depth and coverage, maintaining eaves ventilation, protecting stored items and access, and detailing around downlights, tanks, and the hatch.
M5 — Energy-Efficient Glazing & Doors
This measure covers compliant energy-efficient glazing and doors: performance requirements, correct installation and sealing, and the interaction with ventilation such as trickle vents.
M6 — Draught-Proofing
Draught-proofing reduces uncontrolled air leakage, so this unit balances sealing gaps against keeping purpose-provided and background ventilation working correctly.
