Our experienced team will inspect your property and agree the best plan with you. Our “whole house” approach ensures that on completion your home is warm and well ventilated, with improved air quality and with significant reduction in condensation.
Internal And External Wall Insulation
Homes with solid walls – this includes most properties built before 1919 – lose around 30% of their heat through the walls. This is due to the poor thermal properties of the brick or stone. This can be greatly reduced by fitting insulation to either the inside or the outside of the house.
There are pros and cons of both internal wall (IWI) and external wall (EWI) insulation as follows:
Internal Wall Insulation:
- Generally cheaper to install than EWI.
- Doesn’t change the external appearance of the property.
- Only option in a flat where the freeholder may not give permission for external works.
- Short term disruption if you are living in the property during the works.
- Need to move / extend electrical sockets and media cables.
- Requires redecoration after works completed.
- Some reduction in floor space due to thickness of insulation.
External Wall Insulation:
- Other repair work may be needed before EWI is fitted (remove render, fix rainwater goods, etc)
- Changes, but may improve, the external appearance of a property.
- Can be completed without accessing the home interior.
- No loss of internal floor space.
- Often more expensive than IWI to fit.
- May not be allowed on listed buildings or in conservation areas.
Loft Insulation
Residential properties lose a lot of heat through uninsulated loft spaces.
We can insulate your loft using the best available products that meet the latest government guidelines.
Further to this, our team can also replace any old-fashioned loft hatches. These often allow air leakage through to the loft area – a cause of up to 10% of heat loss in a home. This simple measure can greatly reduce your heating bills and can often be completed in under a day.
Underfloor Insulation
You may not consider heat loss through your floor, but this can account for as much as that lost through the walls.
If you have a suspended timber floor there will be air vents in the outside wall to allow fresh air to circulate under the floorboards.
It is essential to allow this air movement to prevent wood rot in the floor timbers. However, this cold air movement also causes heat loss in the rooms above.
We will insulate between the floor joists and around the perimeter of the walls.
This greatly reduces heat loss through the floor and prevents cold air drafts into the ground floor rooms.
The products used have a 20 year guarantee (and will actually last a lot longer). It is relatively inexpensive and unobtrusive to do, and we can do a room in less than a day.
Loft Conversions with Loft Insulation
Are you using your loft for anything currently? We can turn your unused loft space into a bedroom, office, gaming room, bathroom or other room of your choice.
A loft conversion inside your house can increase your property value and appeal. Having a loft conversion will also give you more habitable living space, with increased energy efficiency depending on what you turn your extra space into.
We will discuss the project with you beforehand and, when we have agreed upon a plan, we will begin the work of making your ideas come to life.
We can also insulate the room to prevent heat loss, saving valuable energy. This also moderates the temperature throughout the year.
Our experienced fitters can also add dormer windows, create extra storage space in the eves or install an additional en-suite at the same time, maximising the space in your home whilst adding value.
