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

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

You've probably already had a quote or two. Maybe they disagreed. Maybe something felt off but you couldn't put your finger on it.

That's because most tradespeople give advice shaped by what they install, not what your home actually needs. In a county full of stone terraces, solid-wall semis and draughty Victorian detacheds, that gap between generic advice and the right advice can cost you thousands.

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 inspect 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 Yorkshire

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

Ventilation

Older Surrey properties that have been progressively draught-proofed often have moisture management issues. A survey checks whether wet rooms have adequate extraction and habitable rooms have trickle vents, and recommends humidity-controlled fans where needed.

Solid wall insulation

For pre-1919 homes with solid brick walls, insulation is the highest-impact improvement. Internal insulation can be done room by room; external insulation covers a whole elevation and may require planning permission. Your assessor advises on the right approach for your specific property.

Loft insulation

Many Surrey homes fall short of the recommended 300mm depth. A top-up is typically the most cost-effective first step. Loft legs allow full depth without losing storage.
