Renewable House

Making a tired UK home warmer, quieter, and cheaper to run—one plain-English post at a time.

No series, no hype. Just what worked in our 1930s semi (and what didn’t): sealing obvious leaks, adding insulation where it matters, getting fresh air in on purpose, and keeping the heating simple. Short posts, real numbers, photos where the mastic missed, the odd family cameo when DIY collides with homework.

Read the latest: small fixes that killed a draught, tests that told us what to do next, kit that earned its keep (or flopped). Copy what helps, ignore the rest.

What to expect

  • Before/after readings in kWh and °C

  • Part numbers and prices, not vibes

  • Honest postmortems when something under-delivers
