Introduction

Welcome to Frome’s first Green Directory. From solar to insulation to eco paints there is a wealth of local businesses who can help make your home more comfortable and green.

Even small changes, such as draught proofing, or thermal blinds - can make a big difference. If you’re looking for something more substantial Frome also has an amazing array of eco architects, designers and carpenters who can help realise your ideas.

This brochure highlights some of the main areas for improvement: energy efficiency, renewable energy, architects, contractors, carpenters and more. Wherever possible we have included local, Frome based businesses. However, for some areas we have had to go further afield to find green specialists.

There is also an excellent free home energy helpline for Frome residents which provides impartial advice run by CSE: 0800 082 2234
