Editorial standards Ian applies to every article
- Every cost figure is checked against Ofgem's current price cap, gov.uk grant guidance and the most recent Energy Saving Trust advice.
- Every grant or scheme is verified against the official gov.uk page in the same calendar quarter as publication.
- U-values, COPs, SCOP figures and emission factors come from BRE/SAP, MCS or DESNZ — never from secondary sources.
- Reviews and recommendations name the manufacturer, the model and the year — no vague "leading brand" copy.
- If a claim cannot be supported with a published UK authority source, it is removed.
Editorial partner
Ian's work is paired with Anna Duncan, editorial reviewer & fact-checker. Every Axiom article goes through both stages — written, then independently fact-checked — before it goes live.
