To help you take the first step to a warmer, greener future, we are pleased to offer individual householders a bespoke Green Home Report™ outlining many of the steps that could be taken to make your particular home more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Our report is based on the requirements necessary for the implementation of the Code for Sustainable Homes and includes many factors not included in a standard Energy Performance Certificate. Amongst these are suitability for the installation of renewable energy sources (micro-generation), the availability of parking for bicycles, possibilities for grey water recycling, green roofs, rainwater harvesting etc.

Our visit takes around an hour to complete and your report is the either hand-delivered or posted to you within 5 working days.

You should find that you can painlessly complete many of our recommendations yourself. Of course, if you decide you'd like some help with a larger project, we'll be happy to provide you with a quote - but you're under no obligation whatsoever.

Each Green Home Report™ costs £50 and is entirely bespoke for your property. We are also happy to discuss and advise on any areas that particularly interest you whilst on the premises.

EcoHomes XB - The environmental assessment method for existing housing 

EcoHomes XB has been developed by BRE in conjunction with the Housing Corporation, to allow stock holders of existing housing to assess and monitor the environmental performance of their stock.  This facilitates the tracking of improvements made during routine maintenance and minor refurbishment and provides a constant monitor of performance against a benchmark figure.  It also helps to highlight areas that require attention and helps prioritise maintenance and refurbishment works.

EcoHomes XB provides the method and gives a tool to assist and guide in the improvement of environmental performance whilst recognising the restraints and practicalities facing existing housing. 

Unlike other BREEAM schemes, EcoHomes XB doesn’t give a rating of PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD & EXCELLENT but is based on a single score allowing stock holders to benchmark their initial performance and then to set realistic targets leading up to an eventual goal.  With the potential to raise the environmental performance of 4 million homes and the living conditions of residents, EcoHomes XB could have a significant impact on helping improve the country’s social housing stock.

Please call us on 01422 844 716 to arrange for an assessment.
