We are currently carrying out loft refurbishment programmes for various local authorities and housing associations which include the fitting of tile ventilators and Passivents. Tile ventilators provide a natural cross-flow of air in the roof space allowing condensation to evaporate and prevent the build up of mould and/or wet/dry rot. Passivents provide natural ventilation to bathrooms and kitchens with a loft above them, without the need for electrical wiring and noisy extractor fans. The system is virtually maintenance free and is free from running costs.
Having spent a lot of time in lofts over the years, our team have become very good at identifying any areas that are suffering from wood boring insects such as wood worm. If woodworm is evident in the loft, all old insulation would be removed, an insecticide spray used to penetrate the timber and new insulation replaced to current building regulations. This would prevent both larvae from pupating and young larvae from getting established. This is a highly effective solution and the treatment is covered by a 30 year guarantee.
As a company we have a vast level of knowledge and experience when it comes to the ins and outs of all things cavity insulation. That's why as one of the region's leading specialists in installing cavity wall insulation we often get called out to advise on the more complex and unusual cases. Once the work has been completed, it will be covered by an independent 25 year guarantee covered by C.I.G.A (Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency). The guarantee is fully transferable to new owners in the event of a sale of the property.
Most homes in the UK have some level of loft insulation, however many have 150mm or less and this should be substantially topped up to 270mm. A further nine-million homes have insulated to only 100mm, this level of insulation has not been considered adequate since the early eighties. Loft insulation has a life span of at least 40 years and every year it will provide you with considerable savings on your energy and reduce the CO2 you produce. We will also recommend the insulation products that will be most beneficial to your pipes and any water tanks.
