Maria Hawton-Mead

“…a feeling for the process being an interactive one, involving the changes going on in the people as well as the house…able to work patiently with people who have little experience of carrying out major changes to a house, who do not really know what the process is going to be like.”

Ann Link, Homeowner of 1950s bungalow

“…she gave us really helpful advice and proved a source of ideas…one particular recommendation was a supplier of triple glazed wooden framed aluminium clad windows which have been efficient and much admired.”

William Akroyd, Homeowner

“Maria has provided invaluable help in what seemed a daunting project of retrofitting our late Victorian house, insulating the building to a very high standard, and coming off gas with the installation of an air source heat pump. Maria has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is also able to recommend contractors whom she knows and trusts.”

Jane Roderic-Evans, Homeowner / Edwardian semi-detached house

“Maria helped us to think about how we would eco retrofit our Victorian terraced house in Hove. She was vital in helping us understand what could be effective and giving us the knowledge and confidence to ask for eco measures in many aspects of our extensive building works. She helped get our builders and architects on board providing specialist information that helped them understand what was possible, as well as practical. We would have never got as far as we did without her inspiration and expertise. She was so easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with.”

Andrea Jones, Homeowner
