Make home improvements count

Whether you're moving or improving, it's a good idea to take the opportunity to review your home's energy efficiency and take steps to reduce its environmental impact. There are a variety of measures that can be undertaken from insulating your hot water tank and fitting loft insulation to installing a wind turbine or solar panels.

It's worth bearing in mind that even the smallest DIY job may have environmental consequences. We can reduce this impact by disposing of any debris responsibly and using materials that don't damage the environment or destroy natural reserves that take hundreds of years to replace.
