Welcome to Ecoalex - ways to improve your home: using less energy, using less water and encouraging wildlife & nature.
Ecoalex is here to tackle one of the largest areas of energy use in the UK, our houses. We all recognise that we need to make the most of our scarce resources and modern homes built to new regulations such as the Code for Sustainable Homes go a long way towards achieving this. However most of us don't live in a new build house but are in a Victorian terrace or a flat in a Georgian town house with all their eccentricities, draughts and large windows. So what can we do to reduce our consumption without knocking them down and starting again? Ecoalex offers a bespoke service for your house. An initial assessment of your property will reveal opportunities to improve your home that will suit all budgets. From this assessment we can then help you implement the projects that you like and help you make your home a greener more efficient place to live. I have over 15 years experience of working in the construction industry and have built up a wide range of knowledge on a diverse range of topics during this time. I spent ten years at CIRIA managing book sales, research projects and finally setting up their training department. Key projects included:
Environmental good practice on site, contributed to new editions of the publication and developed the training course with partners. Buildings for all to use, worked to promote disability access to the construction industry
Archaeology and development, project managed research and also contributed to a best practice publication
Green roofs, produced green roof training course with Dusty Gedge and Gary Grant of the Green Roof Consultancy
SUDS, produced and helped update SuDS training courses and promoted SuDS concept in the UK and Ireland. Since then I have been concentrating on marketing and ecology work for The Ecology Consultancy and the development of Ecoalex to help people improve their houses. Eco retrofit qualifications include
Member of the Green Register
Member of the Institute for sustainability's Flash programme
Other qualifications I have acquired recently

Yesterday, Alex stopped by the National Retrofit Hub’s “Retrofit, Obviously” event, as well as SELCE’s AGM. Both stressed the importance of collective engagement when it comes to determining how we want our local community to look, fuel, and develop.
We would like to give a shout out to everyone at , the , , and for their amazing work and research in this field.
Busy retrofit day visited with in the morning great talks by Jon Alexander and Immy Kaur. Evening at the AGM in my role as retrofit project manager there. Exciting new projects on the way.
What do you think of when you hear “retrofit”? Do you see the 60s and 70s, or an inspiring model for our future? Let us know!
Just out of Retrofit survey of a big house in Muswell Hill. Stripped back to the bones inside so able to see how it's out together. Going to produce a Personal Home Energy Plan for them as they are participating in the Power Up Haringey project

With energy standards tightening, hitting an EPC rating of C is no longer a 'nice-to-have'—it’s a legislative necessity and a massive value-add for your properties.
At Ecoalex, we’ve launched a dedicated new plan specifically designed to help landlords navigate this transition smoothly. We don't just point out problems; we provide clear, actionable pathways—from insulation upgrades to whole-house energy plans—to get your properties compliant and cost-effective.

From a blank waterproof membrane to a living, breathing ecosystem. 🌸🐝
Swipe to see some of our recent green roof design and installation projects from the Ecoalex archives. Beyond looking incredible, green roofs regulate building temperatures, manage rainwater runoff, and bring vital biodiversity back to our urban spaces.
