Sustainability

Gale Design & Build are very aware of the pressure on our planets resources and the large volumes of C02 produced by the construction industry and its suppliers.

In our efforts to support net zero, we are able to offer a variety of MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) including off site manufacturing, SIPS, panel systems and sustainable building materials, systems and products.
Additionally, the installation of Solar Panels, Waste water heat recovery and air source heat pumps can also be added to help reduce this impact.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss the various options.

Retro Fit Systems

Retro fit systems (loft / cavity wall / external / window insulation etc) allow existing properties to have their thermal performance increased to achieve the new government target of EPC rating C and above. We can provide guidance on what systems will most benefit your home
