For UK park home owners

Before anyone quotes you for a £9,000 job, spend an afternoon with a torch.

A park home loses heat differently from a brick house, yet most advice is written for brick houses or by companies selling insulation. This kit shows you how to find out what your own home costs to run, using your meter, your electricity rate and one simple sum.

  • Works for any fuel
  • No DIY or maths skills needed
  • Sources and estimates labelled
  • 30-day refund on the kit

Does this sound like you?

The bill went up. Nobody can tell you where the money went.

You can run this kit with what you already have: your bill, your meter, a torch and a notepad. It starts with what is happening in your own home instead of a quote for new work.

Why does a small home cost so much to heat?
Is my cold floor a draught or something else?
What is my electricity costing me through the park?
Is cladding worth thousands of pounds?
The numbers

The money is rarely where it feels like it is

31p vs £3.16Eight boils of a kettle, against six hours of a 2kW panel heater.
£1,200A year to heat a 120-litre hot water tank from cold twice a day, every day.
25×What a fan heater costs per hour compared with a television.
13pTo replace all the air in a typical park home, so airing it costs less than most people fear.

Worked at 26.32p a unit, the Ofgem cap for 1 October to 31 December 2026. Some inputs are estimates. The kit shows you how to redo every sum at your own rate.

What is inside

What you will have when you finish

Your real unit rate

Even if your electricity comes through the park.

A cost for every appliance

From the kettle to the immersion heater.

Your five biggest costs

Ranked by a 90-minute room-by-room audit.

A diagnosis of your cold floor

Draught, cold wall or uninsulated underside, because the fixes run from about £50 to many thousands of pounds.

An order of work

From free changes to a new heating system, so money does not go on the wrong job first.

The sums on cladding

On the book's assumptions, payback takes about 17 to nearly 60 years. It also explains when it can still make sense.

A plan for damp and mould

Including where to dry washing in winter.

A month-by-month year

With four meter readings that show whether your changes worked.

A record of your numbers

So you can see what each fix actually saved.

Before you buy

Is this for you?

Probably yes, if…

  • You own or live in a UK park home and want to know where the money goes.
  • You have been quoted for expensive work and want to check the sums first.
  • You are dealing with cold floors, condensation or a bill you cannot explain.
  • You would rather start with simple checks you can do yourself.

Probably not, if…

  • You want a guaranteed saving. Every home and bill is different.
  • You need help with pitch fees, site agreements, tax or another legal or financial question. LEASE (parkhomes.lease-advice.org) offers specialist park home advice.
  • You have a serious fault. That needs a qualified tradesperson.
  • You need medical advice about keeping warm.

Questions

Common questions

What format is it?

The Complete Kit is one 72-page PDF with bookmarks to each part. The Cost Check is a one-page PDF.

Can I read it on my phone?

Yes. The pages are A4, so a tablet, computer or printout may be more comfortable.

Will this cut my bill by a set amount?

No. Every home and every bill is different. The kit shows you how to measure your own costs and judge each fix.

Do I need DIY or maths skills?

No. There is one sum, explained on one page. A plug-in energy monitor and a humidity gauge are useful, inexpensive extras.

Does it cover pitch fees or what a site owner can charge?

No. It does not cover legal or financial questions. It does show you how to work out your own unit rate from a park bill.

Is the Cost Check really free?

Yes. Gumroad asks for your email address so it can send your download.

What if I cannot download it?

Email ruthmaddox110@gmail.com and include the email address you used at checkout.

How do refunds work?

Email within 30 days of buying the Complete Kit and ask for a refund.
