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.
