I would talk to icf supplies in Essex, they will sort you out a contractor. 

They sent me a number of options but most are south of the M25 or South West so quite a ways to travel.

Several I spoke to were not so keen with that aspect.

Hi , we are looking to refurb our bungalow rather than build up due to cost and interested in how you got your VAT exemption? 

 

The building needs to be empty for two years to qualify, then the VAT can be reduced to 5%

@Nkoru yes that’s the one we used, it does have to be the builder who claims it though so it’s not like self build, that worked for our circumstances though as didn’t want it to drag on. Our house is basically like a new build though because we removed so much of it and added a first floor.

Did that also, guy promised to send me details twice, but no show. He was more miffed that someone sold us Nudura in "his patch". Almost feel we are  being shut out by the supply chain. Happy to sell but not so keen to held now. We do not expect back what we paid but a fair price. Considering the cost will increase 2020 this allows for someone to get a good deal, well that's our idea.

@rh2205 Thank you so much , that really helps. We are juggling figures to see what works out more cost effective - rebuild or renovate, that helps a lot.
