Thankyou very much. Full disclosure The shiny no 1 is because its still a bit wet! Unfair comparison, i know.

Hi there Got a north facing room, white doors n coving. Over painting wallpaper. Looking for something to add light and a bit of warmth Decorator coming tomorrow…cant decide between 1,2 or 3! Any thoughts…

Is there a difference between the two? I dont have mould but would like thermal properties. Thanks

Thanks. Will check out warranty.

Good Afternoon. I have fell in love with a bungalow which has central heated underfloor heating (?) , under tiles. It runs right through the bungalow. The bathroom suite may need changing though Whats the score with this please? Do you just have to replace the exact same size suite? Or can the...

Hi, Have Old house with decent frames but single glazing Have heard about something called stepped double glazing Is it any good if you want double but dont want to take out the window and have lintels and all the rest? Thanks

Good Morning I have an old house with timber framed windows. I have replaced most of the back ones with timber but tbh maintenance is a bit of a pain at my age. I ‘experimented’ by buying one upvc ‘Residence 7’ window at the front. I like it better than wood and want to do the rest of the front...

Thanks Robin. Ps. You know the loft. After i remove the bits of roll insulation to form a path,If i get the thickness of the board so it actually comes level with the rafters (the strut things on the floor), is that what you mean would be safe to walk on.? Or would that need pleywood just placed...

Thankyou so very much for this indepth answer Robin, that is brilliant!

And here’s another one….bit random. I have had thick insulation (the stuff they roll out) in the loft. Now i cant walk on it! So, i just looked up pir after your post. Could i lay bits of pir board down up there on top of the existing insulation, and walk on that? Is it sturdy enough do you...

Ps .. can youuse insulation board under carpet or is that just weird?

Hi Robin. Thanks for your help. We cant do external as its a really really large property and the costs are too prohibitive. Re the Pir , couple of questions if i may. ? Does it just adhere to the walls or need batons ? Also if i put it on the external wall of the ‘junk room’, which IS an...

I will measure tomoz and let you know. I reckon they are about 9 though. I understand although am not certain, they did two layers of bricks one facing one way, one another, right next to each other. Good idea re curtains. Thanks

Ooh. Ok, So not much i could do or even want to do, or even have the budget to do re the walls. Point taken about the doors though, plus i dont want to feel like i am ‘stepping up’ from the hall into another room. It looks like thin insulation may br the way forward then, even if it doesnt do much!

Oh, the new windows have those in, thats good. I just imagined some kind of insulation might be good under the carpet cos concrete floors are freezing.

Ooh yes, no insulation as they didnt have cavity walls in those days , its a downstairs room but the house has a normal tile roof on.

Hi there. No the floor is not damp at all. Its just cold despite a big rad. We are having double glazing put in in march and thought while i was at it i would look at this option. Theres a teeny weeny room next to it where i basically store ‘stuff’ and where the actual outside wall is on the...

Good morning I live in a house built around 1949. I have a room that faces north which I use as an office which is blinking freezing. It has a concrete floor and Its ready to have the carpet changed. I’ve heard you could put insulation under the carpet, although it cant be too high because i...
