Blake Evington

Lead Content Writer
Blake Evington began his career in domestic heating, working alongside engineers to scope and deliver boiler and system upgrades. That hands-on experience gave him a solid grasp of how real projects are quoted, scheduled, and completed, as well as where costs can spiral.

He later worked for a larger contracting business, managing trades, materials, and customer expectations on dozens of home renovation projects, which shaped his understanding of what makes a renovation run smoothly from the first quote to the final walkthrough.

Today, as Lead Content Writer at Renovate.co.uk, Blake combines his technical background with a passion for clear, honest communication. His writing helps homeowners navigate renovation planning, pricing, and finance options with confidence, avoiding common pitfalls, and understanding realistic costs. Outside of work, he keeps up with the latest building innovations and occasionally gets hands-on with his own DIY projects.
