Many of us have had problems trying to find good local suppliers for implementation of energy saving measures and renewable technologies!! The aim of this page is to consolidate information that our members have on suppliers they have used. We’re asking anyone that has used a supplier recently to give three ratings on value for money, quality of work and efficiency, and also to indicate if they would be willing to be contacted for further background on a supplier. If you can provide any information on suppliers you have used please use the comments area below.

Note Muswell Hill Sustainability Group does NOT recommend any supplier, we just provide a facility for sharing information.
