Services We Provide

Renovation and Restoration
The upgrading and maintenance of existing property is one obvious way to reduce waste and save time and money. By utilising structures which are already there, the need for completely new buildings is reduced.

Insulation
Particularly relevant to the Scottish climate ! A properly insulated house will require comparatively less fuel to heat and so will have lower running costs and cause less pollution. BUILDGREEN are fully trained and registered installers of Isofloc cellulose fibre insulation (a super efficient alternative to the usual standard which is totally safe to use).

Consultancy Service
Questions answered, alternatives provided. Information and advice about what can be done to make your project more 'green' in practice as well as in theory.
Interested and within Scotland or Northern England, then contact BUILDGREEN.
Materials
The use of materials and methods that are harmless is an obvious benefit for contractors and occupants alike. Many standard building products waste vast amounts of energy in their production and use, and contribute to environmental pollution. Wherever possible, and only with the customer's consent we use materials with low environmental impacts such as natural and non-toxic paints, finishes and preservatives and discourage the use of products from non-sustainable sources. The size and scope of the building industry as a whole means that even small changes towards healthier, more sustainable practices can have far reaching benefits.

Recycling
A substantial amount of valuable building materials are disposed of, increasing the cost to the customer, the industry and the environment. We endeavour to salvage as much as possible from renovation and new build projects.
