Are you about to renovate your home and want to make it eco-friendly—but feel completely
lost?
Have you already hired a builder, but every new term and decision leaves you overwhelmed?
Do you fear making costly mistakes because you don’t know what questions to ask?
Solution:
Beginner’s Guide to Eco Renovation is your go-to guide. It will help you confidently and effectively manage your
home renovation with an eco-conscious mindset. Written by Judith, a homeowner who
transformed her 1901 Victorian terrace house into a modern, energy-efficient gem, this book
is a blend of real-life lessons, expert-backed knowledge, and straight-talking guidance.

✅ The truth about ventilation systems—and how they affect health, comfort, and energy
bills
✅ Tips to manage construction waste sustainably, without relying on landfill

Control over your budget, materials, and the final performance of your home
Peace of mind that your choices are making a real difference—for the planet and
your wallet

This book is like having a coffee with a friend who’s been through it all—and isn’t afraid to
tell you what went wrong and what worked brilliantly.
