Thanks @flameport - do you suggest getting some more insulation and laying on top of existing?

We were thinking of insulating and boarding our loft and adding a loft hatch so had some builders round to take a look and do a quote but they said there's no need to add insulation as its already got adequate insulation there Looking at the existing insulation, it looks like the loft wool...

Hi, we are in the process of having external wall insulation installed and finished with a silicone render on top The installers seem to be doing a good job and making fast progress - We've opted for 30mm insulation on the front of the house to keep the general aesthetic and 50mm round the...

Hello, We are looking to silicone render the complete outside of our 3 bed house - to replace the shoddy old painted pebbledash on there at the moment. House is a 30's build, solid brick with no cavity wall so we are losing a lot of heat at the moment and getting a bit of penetrating damp from...
