So, if you’ve been following this blog recently (and I know its not updated as often as I should) you will know that we have been working on a project in Hove which has involved several stages – the building of a new double garage, the extension of the house into an (almost) new garden room and now the external …
The Droveway – Garden Room
We’ve just realised that our blog has been sadly lacking in an update in the last 2 months! So – here is an update on the Droveway Garden Room. All the work has been completed with only the decorations internally and floor finish to go 0- being handled by our client themselves – the room looks great if we do …
The Droveway – Phase 2
So, we have been back on site at The Droveway bringing what was an unheated conservatory space cut off from the rest of the house to become an integral part of the home – properly insulated, thermally efficient (exceeding Building Regs standards) and generally adding an enormous area to the home which can be used all year round. A picture …
Team Green!!
Its a beautiful day here in Brighton – and we thought we’d take the opportunity to have a group photos of most (not all!) of the Bright Green Homes team outside our offices. Its a bit hard to make us out as we are in the shade – but we are there! Have a great weekend everyone! đŸ˜†
Missing the Fracking Point?
This is a post that has been generously shared with us by The Green Register‘s Lucy Pedler. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, was developed in the 1940s to recover gas from conventional wells and has more recently ‘revolutionised’ the American energy industry, allowing the USA to become temporarily more energy independent by extracting gas (and oil) from small fractures in the …
New Double Garage
We’ve started work on a new project to construct a double garage. First we had to demolish the old single garage and clear the site. Any earthworks at this time of the year is a messy business and with all the recent rain this was no exception. So to cut down on the mud and mess we installed a site loo …
External Wall Insulation
Another external wall insulation project completed! The tricky access on this Victorian house meant that scaffolding had to be brought through the narrow side passage and erected to the rear elevation. A substantial amount of external pipework had to be removed and re-fixed to allow space for the insulation and render. The existing windows were removed and replaced with new …
Victorian Terrace Renovation up-date
We are well into our Victorian Terrace home renovation project that we have been working with our friends at Cityzen Design on. The external walls have come down and the new steel beams supporting the 1st floor are in place. Thomas and Jo have a lovely new boiler and underfloor insulation to keep them warm during the winter months. A …
External Wall Insulation & Cladding
So – hi all, it seems i have fallen some way behind in keeping our blog up to date – its been a really busy few months and I think my batteries needed a recharge… which I was luck enough to have last week… more of that in another blog… So with our current project we have had a few …
The first of the windows are in..
So, the first of the windows at Elms Lea have been installed on the first floor of the house. They look amazing, and will look even better when the cork external wall insulation and the featherboard cladding have been added. Also while we have been up on the scaffolding it is apparent that the seagulls that live on the roof …
