Supply Chain Advice Pack: Park Home Retrofit
Introduction
Park homes make up a small but important part of the UK’s housing landscape. They are predominantly occupied by older residents, often on fixed or low incomes, and tend to suffer from poor thermal performance due to lightweight construction and limited insulation. As a result, many residents face high energy bills, cold homes and elevated health risks. Retrofitting park homes delivers substantial improvements in warmth, affordability and wellbeing — but requires a specialist approach that differs from traditional housing.

Welcome to the Supply Chain Advice Pack: Park Home Retrofit
Residential park homes (also called mobile homes) are single-storey, prefabricated dwellings constructed to BS 3632, not traditional building regulations. The 2023 update to BS 3632 strengthened requirements for thermal performance, moisture control and ventilation. Residents normally own the home itself while renting the pitch on a privately operated site, shaping how permissions, engagement and funding must be managed.
