Personal story:

We were looking for a home in the town centre, we knew the lady who was selling the home and she wanted it to remain a family home.

Motivations:

We want to create a modern living environment in this old Victorian house. It was cold, hard to heat and in a poor state of repair when we bought it. At the same time as modernising it we’re taking the opportunity to make it a more energy efficient.

Property background:

It was a boarding house at one time. The previous tenants moved, in 1948 and lived there for 60 years.

Key changes made:

This refurbishment is very much a work in progress. Internal wall insulation, floor and loft insulation and energy efficient windows have been installed along with an efficient gas boiler and wood stove.

Measures installed in detail:

Energy efficient condensing boiler installed with controls
Efficient Double glazing installed throughout
Floor insulation installed on ground floor
Kingspan Kooltherm K17 / K18 insulated dry lining
system used to internally insulate external walls on three sides. Rigid phenolic insulant 0.020 W/M.K (45mm)
Loft insulation topped up to 270mm from minimal 50mm
Energy saving lightbulbs fitted throughout
Wood stove installed

More on contacting this SuperHomer »

Do not contact this SuperHomer directly if your aim is:

a) Research
Contact Gordon Glass (firstname@superhomes.org.uk). Given plenty of advance warning, we are keen to work with researchers to mutual benefit. However, requests to participate in surveys will otherwise be ignored if not first channelled through our HQ. This avoids the situation where SuperHomers are being asked to participate in multiple surveys.

b) Media and Communications
Contact Gordon Glass (firstname@superhomes.org.uk). Many SuperHomers are happy to provide comment or invite the media into their homes. However, the appropriate channel for requests is via HQ. We will point you to the homeowners most likely to be able to meet your criteria and time frames to the greatest collective benefit. If we can’t help, we’ll tell you.

c) Seeking Broad Advice
Visit our Eco Renovation FAQs section. Use the filters to narrow down your search.

d) Seeking Specific Technical Advice
Join our Forum. If no thread on the subject already exists, create a new one. SuperHomers are not always technically minded, but some regular participants on the forum will be.

e) Seeking Feedback on Your Own Plans
Advisors with SuperHomes can be employed to give you the level of input you require.

f) Asking for a Private Visit
Contact Gordon Glass (firstname@superhomes.org.uk). We may be able to arrange a paid visit for you but the cost is unlikely to be under £100. Many SuperHomes open in September as part of our free SuperHome Open Days.
