The problem


The problem


By the time an installer visits, you're already being sold something

By the time an installer visits, you're already being sold something

Bristol's housing stock is dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraces - many in conservation areas, many with solid walls and no cavity to fill. Generic installer advice rarely applies. The problem most Bristol homeowners face isn't motivation; it's getting advice that actually fits their property.

Our solution

Cut through the noise with an independent home energy survey.

Expert advice that starts with your home, not a product catalogue.

  • No one-size-fits-all advice - we assess every aspect of your home, from the building fabric to your heating systems.

  • We break down the complexity, explaining the costs, impacts and sequencing of all your options.

  • You get an independent view, instead of conflicting recommendations from people trying to sell products.

How it works

Home assessment

One of our experts physically inspects your entire property - walls, roof, floors, windows, heating system, and ventilation. Typically takes two to three hours.

Home energy plan

Home energy plan

We use the survey data to digitally model your home's energy efficiency and produce a Home Energy Plan - phased recommendations for home upgrades with cost, bill savings, CO2 reduction, and EPC impact per measure.

Follow-up consultation

We walk through your plan together, answer any questions you still have, and agree how to move forward - whether that's acting independently or working with Furbnow to deliver your project.

Our top three recommendations for homes in Bristol

Remember, every home is different and we check over 40 different elements of your home. Your recommendations will be unique to you.

Ventilation

Georgian and Victorian terraces in Bristol - many of which have been gradually draught-proofed over the decades - frequently have moisture problems. Humidity-controlled extract fans in wet rooms, trickle vents in habitable rooms, and adequate door undercuts form an integrated system that manages moisture properly.

Solid wall insulation

Most Bristolian Georgian and Victorian terraces have solid walls with no cavity. Internal wall insulation is typically the only viable route for properties in conservation areas where external changes are restricted. It can be done room-by-room as budget allows, which suits the phased approach most homeowners take. Your assessor will advise on the right approach, including how to detail window junctions correctly to avoid cold bridges.

Solar panels

For Bristol terraces, semis and detached homes with south-facing rear roof slopes, solar panels can meaningfully reduce electricity bills. Your assessor will assess roof orientation, available area, and any planning considerations before recommending a system size.
