Good Energy sponsors The Festival of Sustainable Homes

We are delighted to announce Good Energy as the official sponsor of our brand new ‘Festival of Sustainable Homes’, held on Friday and Saturday 17th - 18th May.

The family-friendly show at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre will feature more than 200 exhibitors offering advice and information on how to make homes more sustainable, together with inspiring talks and educational tours.

It will also feature a nature zone shining a spotlight on charities and other organisations working to protect the environment.

Good Energy, based in Chippenham, has been at the forefront of clean energy for a quarter of a century.

In addition to supplying electricity backed by power from a UK network of more than 2,000 renewable generators, the company offers bespoke solar panel and heat pump installations.

Head of Marketing, Laura Wildish, said:

“We’re excited to support the NSBRC’s first festival and look forward to it being a huge success.

“People are increasingly keen to play their part in tackling the climate crisis, and there’s no better place to start than how we power and heat our own homes. The event will be perfect for anyone wanting to learn how to live a greener life.”

You can easily find the Centre at Lydiard Fields just off Junction 16 of the M4.

The NSBRC is the UK’s only permanent visitor centre designed specifically to meet the needs of individual self builders, renovators and home improvers.

Managing Director, Harvey Fremlin, said:

“With a 25-year legacy as renewable pioneers, based down the road from us in Chippenham, Good Energy are the perfect partners for the festival.

“We are excited to work with the team to help thousands of people to learn more about creating better, sustainable homes.”

The Festival of Sustainable Homes will be held on Friday and Saturday 17th - 18th May from 9am - 5pm, with plenty of free parking.

Planning to Self-Build or Renovate? 5 Top Tips Before You Start | With Georgina Burnett (AKA The Home Genie)

Planning a self-build or major renovation? Before you start choosing paint colours, ripping out bathrooms or getting builders through the door, there are a few things I’d strongly recommend doing first.

I’ve renovated, styled and worked on enough properties to know that the projects that run most smoothly aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets - they’re the ones where the homeowner has thought ahead.

Because when you’re in the middle of a renovation, there will be things you didn’t expect. There will be decisions you need to make quickly, deliveries that don’t arrive, costs that change and, inevitably, the odd moment when you wonder why on earth you started.

So, here are my five top tips for getting yourself organised before the work begins.
