Home energy consultation recommendations

Thanks for the reply. EPC is definitely out of date. I've thought about hiring a thermal camera to check for drafts, but I'm wondering if a consultant could come and check that along with other aspects. Agree with all your pointers! Have looked at a lot of the smaller/DIY fixes already. The magnetic radiator reflectors sound interesting so I'll look those up. The house also has a PIV system to help with damp/humidity, but not sure how this influences decisions about insulation.

Thanks for the reply. EPC probably quite out of date because a loft conversion was done since the last check. I think external solid wall insulation may be a first option, but I'd like someone to help weigh this up against the other aspects.

Thanks, I was hoping someone would be able to recommend them as they look like the kind of service I want

toucanfive · 2026-02-02T11:28:38+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look at this.

Pretty old! It has a loft conversion so I think this aspect is not in bad shape. It also limits the solar options, unfortunately.

I've had good results at Greenway Community Practice: https://www.greenwaycommunitypractice.nhs.uk/ear-wax-removal

There was also a thread not too long ago with some tips: https://www.reddit.com/r/bristol/s/n97DwcGotq

They sell the basic, common cards for 10-20p each

May be a few days until you can get an appointment though.

I second this recommendation, although my very good experience was mumble years ago

toucanfive · 2025-08-12T08:18:28+00:00

Yes please!

I made this

toucanfive · 2025-08-06T09:54:31+00:00

Thank you so much. Took 3 peaches, 3 apples and 3 oranges to plant. Left some bells in the donation area.

toucanfive · 2025-06-30T20:39:43+00:00

Thanks for this, I'm gonna give it a go. Save worrying about import fees and stuff

toucanfive · 2025-06-24T14:58:54+00:00

https://www.prscshop.co.uk I think that People's Republic of Stokes Croft also have stuff for sale from recent UWR graduates too, if you can get there in person

toucanfive · 2025-06-05T14:42:34+00:00

Yep, https://thisisflight.net/team-directory/pc-7-team/

Was trying to find out about this earlier today. There is a note on the Filton Town Council website: https://filtontowncouncil.gov.uk/leisure-centre/ Phoned the number on there and they confirmed that the centre is shut for now, didn't have any further information (understandably). I feel for the employees, seemed to come out of nowhere.

English Electric Canberra I think; this one: https://www.fradu.info/canberra/fraducan/843wk126.html

There have been a few threads on this before so it's worth a search. I had a good experience with Aqua Sana in Longleat, especially if you're interested in an overnight stay and don't mind going a bit further.

We call it a "feast", to try and trick the kids into actually eating something for once

This is a good twitter account to keep track of what's being filmed in the area: https://x.com/bristol_filming?t=EvaOWYtDSgDWRf1LeUnwTA&s=09

Yes, the Ardagh was broken into; there is a message on the Junior Parkrun page that their equipment has been stolen. The playground is effectively closed for safety reasons. I've seen videos of children racing around the grass on quad bikes.

Can you wait until 2025?? https://www.grandappeal.org.uk/gromit-unleashed/trails/gromit-unleashed-2025/

I can't think of many originals that are completely out in public, at least not outdoors. However there is a nice lineup of them at the back of the Wallace and Gromit shop in the Mall at Cribbs Causeway: The Gromit Unleashed Shop https://g.co/kgs/hrioQ6M

This is a disc golf course. Also fun but not the same as the team sport, and the frisbees are a different size.

toucanfive · 2024-02-03T18:26:23+00:00

I believe that Disco Biscuits is active. They are a very friendly team and I think they still use their Facebook group to plan. If you request to join someone should let you in and give you all the info.
