7 May, 2017 | AECB | BSBM meeting, EnerPHit, Events, MVHR, Sustainable Renovation
I’m planning a tour of the latest stage in the renovation to my house, most notably a loft conversion which is in full swing and should be at an interesting stage for the BSBM meeting in JUNE on the 13th. So instead of meeting at the Trafalgar I’m suggesting meeting on site (92 Livingstone Road, Hove, BN3 3WL) at 7pm and then we can head to a local pub around 8ish. I’ll reconfirm nearer the time, but please let me know if you’re interested. Phase 1 of the renovation was completed in 2014 and included external wall insulation and triple glazing.

Can anyone recommend a supplier of inward opening aluminium clad timber windows (and ideally front and folding doors) for a low energy domestic retrofit in Brighton?
There’s so many out there, it would be good to hear about examples of companies offering excellent windows at a decent price and with good customer service…

Saw this in the weekend papers… will it result in another mis-selling scandal?
