Guy Martin's House With No Bills - How To DIY Home Insulation

House With No Bills

Guy Martin did a great job this week raising awareness of retro-fitting insulation in a 1930s semi. Well worth watching.

The only real downside was that the works were largely architect-designed to Passivhaus premium standards. Which meant the expense was unrealistic for many homes in Britain.

OK there were some cheap improvements (such as draughtproofing a door using a soft toy!). But for most of us the cost of works is key.

It’s probably a bit pernickety to point out that the house would still have to pay water bills….unless they dug a borehole (+ a septic tank for waste).

This is where Rightsurvey may come in useful because we recently posted advice from surveyors about how to insulate different parts of your home without breaking the bank:-
