Home batteries, flood protection and shelters cost thousands. Read the rules and costs first, then ask us for help.
Shelters and safe rooms
A plain guide to private shelters and safe rooms: what they are, what UK planning rules say, what people have paid, and what to ask a builder.
Home battery and solar back-up
What a home battery does in a power cut, what the rules say, what one costs, and how to choose an MCS installer.
Flood doors and barriers
How to protect a home from flooding: surveys, Kitemarked products, Build Back Better insurance money, and how to choose an installer.
How this works
Each page explains the job, the rules and the costs we could find, with sources. The form sends your enquiry to us only. We have no installer partners yet: we reply ourselves, and we will name any company and ask your permission before sharing your details.
Other big jobs (standby generators, boreholes, rainwater, fire suppression) are coming later.
