ecology
We care a lot about where our products come from, how and where they are made to rejuvenate the planet.
Renewable Energy
We are proud to say that our workshop heating is run by 100% and renewable energy and our lighting is 50% renewable.
Biomass heating
Biomass boilers are very similar to conventional gas boilers, providing your space with heating and hot water for the entire home, but instead of using gas (or oil) to produce the heat, they combust sustainably sourced wood pellets or other bio materials and have much lower C02 emission. Our wooden pellets are locally sourced from Devon, UK. Provided by Brighton and Hove Energy Services (BHESCO).
solar engery
We have photovoltaic solar panels fitted on our workshop roof, that partly supply the electricity for our workshop. The solar energy covers our lighting and any electricity we don't use goes back into the UK National grid contributing to it's renewable electricity supply. Provided by Solar Advanced Systems.
Green Partners
We like to work closely with other like minded people.
We are members of The Green Growth Platform in Brighton - a green business network providing green businesses with the support they need to take them to the next level.
We are members of Blue Patch - a sustainable marketplace for UK eco and ethical design.
