Hello, we've recently had cavity wall insulation and loft insulation put into the property. However, we have one bedroom upstairs which is connected on one wall to the garage. The room is about 2-3 degrees colder than other rooms which we think is in part caused by the fact that the wall has no...

Hi, I'm planning changing my garage (internal to the house but no internal door) to a garage gym. It's a pretty smallish garage and at the moment, has zero insulation in the brick walls - can literally feel the cold air coming in the house via the walls during winter. I'm planning on using...

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place or seems a daft question... Our garage is integral to the house and above it is our youngest bedroom. As this was built in the 70's there is no insulation between the garage roof and the bedroom floor. Being north facing it can get rather cold at...
