about emerald grey

We built the practice

we wish had existed for us.

________

A UK building biology and healthy home consultancy, founded by a chartered architect and an EMF specialist. We spent a decade living in a home that was making us ill.

Our story

For ten years we lived in a home in Oxford where mould grew season after season and was repeatedly dismissed as condensation. The word made it sound harmless. It was not.

In those years both of us struggled with a cascade of health issues we could not name. Fatigue that never lifted. Alfie's allergies growing, his eczema worsening. Iza experiencing persistent migraines, becoming acutely aware of the electromagnetic activity in the rooms around her. We were eating well, moving, managing stress. Nothing was working.

That recovery left a question we could not put down. How many other people were unknowingly being shaped by the homes they lived in? Emerald Grey is our answer.

The issue, it turned out, was not us. It was the house.
Leaving it was the beginning of a slow, thorough recovery.

"For many people, the overlooked variable is not behaviour.
It is the environment."

Environmental factors often show up like this.

• Disrupted sleep, particularly waking in the

  second half of the night

Many of the symptoms people attribute to stress or ageing are connected, at least in part, to where and how they sleep. Air quality, moisture, light, electromagnetic fields, and materials can all influence how the body functions over time.

If several of the following feel familiar, your home may be contributing more than you realise.

These are environmental associations, not medical diagnoses. If you have health concerns, please consult your health practitioner.

Izabela

Iza leads every assessment, authors every report, and guides every conversation. Her ten years in residential architecture means she reads a home as a system. Her building biology training means she understands what the body inside it is experiencing.

Alfie

Alfie leads the electromagnetic field measurement programme on every in-person assessment and processes all data against SBM-2024 standards. He has spent his whole life managing his own health sensitivities. He knows what he is looking for not only because he has studied it, but because he has lived it.

Grounded authority

Our confidence comes from real measurement, real study, and real lived experience. We speak precisely. We do not lead with alarm.

Reassurance before risk

When something is found, it is immediately paired with a way forward. Clients never leave with a problem and no pathway.

Measure before advising

Every recommendation is cross-referenced against SBM-2024 standards. We measure before we advise. Always.

When you are ready, we are here.
