Season 3 of our retrofit workshops is starting in the New Year, and whilst we’d love to offer you a discount this Black Friday, we’d rather plant and look after a tree… sorry.
Besides, we guarantee if you (or your clients, organisation, students, family, etc) make the improvements we’re suggesting, you’ll save way more than the cost of our workshop!
