From wasted energy to a warmer home, with zero hassle

John knew his home was losing heat and wasting energy. He wanted it to reach its full potential, so he could enjoy a warmer, more comfortable space he knew was genuinely energy efficient, without the hassle of managing the project or any disruption to his daily life.

Home improvements without the headache

John was ready to invest in his home, but he didn't know where to start. He wasn't sure which improvements would actually make a difference, or how to find the right people to carry them out. He didn't want to spend time hunting down contractors, risk being overcharged, or end up managing a project that left his home half-finished. More than anything, he didn't want his daily life turned upside down.

“Furbnow was a one stop shop that made my life so much easier. They did all the heavy lifting and saved me an enormous amount of work. Now the house is noticeably warmer, and more peaceful too — the double glazing has made a huge difference to the noise from passing traffic.”

Your independent expert, every step of the way

We handled everything, starting with a whole-house assessment to show him exactly where his home was losing heat and which upgrades would give him the best value. Then we got to work, finding trusted contractors, negotiating fair prices on his behalf, and managing every part of the project until the work was done and dusted. John stayed in control without having to be hands-on. Everything went as planned, with minimal disruption, so he could finally enjoy a home that keeps the warmth in and his bills down.
