What's Involved

Having agreed on a price for the works with the homeowner, we then outline our method of work. This can be summerised as follows:

Week 1

We prepare the ground and errect scaffolding.
We fix the insulation boards to the walls.
We commence the application of the plaster base coat.

Week 2

We apply base coat and primer coat of plaster to the walls.
We apply the finish coat of plaster.

Week 3

We complete plaster work, remove scaffolding , tidy up, and leave.

Sometimes the works can be completed within two weeks.

Window cill fixed to wall prior to insulation being fixed. This occurs in week one. Note the box type seal which prevents water penetration. This must be in place before insulation is fixed to walls.

Easy Tips for a Warm Home!

1. Use heavy curtains to stop heat escaping from your windows
Up to 40 per cent of the heat escaping from your home in winter is from uncovered windows. Heavy, lined curtains which extend below the window frame will insulate your windows and help keep the warmth in.


2. Watch the temperature
Heat the rooms you are using to around 20ºC in winter, a comfortable temperature for most people. If you don't have a programmable thermostat on your heater, place a thermometer in your living area to keep an eye on the temperature. And think of putting on a jumper before you try turning up the heat.


3. Let the sunshine in during the day
If you have any south facing windows, open up their curtains when it is sunny to let the sun heat up your house for you.

4. Maintain your boiler
Getting your boiler serviced professionally at least every two years will keep it running more efficiently.
