Sunkosi Spithurst Road

Barcombe, BN8 5EF

Ollie and Sarah have lived at Sunkosi since 2009. In 2012 they undertook full cavity wall and loft insulation and draught proofed all doors, windows and the loft hatch via the CERT scheme, which Ovesco arranged for many Barcombe properties. This year they had an air source heat pump and new radiators, TRVs and thermostat installed. A wood burner supplies supplementary heat when required. Their annexe is fully insulated and double glazed, with full electric heating. They next plan to install solar panels.

Nancy has made clever use of grants since moving into her home in 2000, installing cavity wall and loft insulation. She recently took advantage of the (now defunct) Green Homes Grant to install an Air Source Heat Pump in 2020. The ASHP is working well. In addition, she has replaced the windows with double glazing over the years.

Mark and Sarah moved into Grantham Bank in 2014. In 2015 they installed 12 solar PV panels on the roof. The insulation on the converted garage was very poor and this was stripped out and replaced in 2016. They plan to install an air source heat pump in the near future and will also consider battery storage.

High Street, Barcombe, BN8 5 AX

When Bex moved in last year, her house survey showed that her new home was badly insulated so she undertook a programme of insulation. This included the roof of the main house, the roof of the rear extension, interior wall insulation and insulating under the suspended timber floor on the ground floor. The existing sash windows had secondary glazing fitted. Once this programme of works was done, Bex replaced the night storage heaters with a new air source heat pump, radiators suitably sized for a heat pump and a new hot water cylinder. She was able to claim the Renewable Heat Incentive towards the cost of the heat pump.
