First up, a 1930's detached house in West Bridgford with a conservatory (2001) and loft conversion (2007).
Like many homes of this age in the local area, it is heated with a gas boiler and has solid walls that cannot be insulated with cavity wall insulation.
However, unlike most homes in the same street, in 2014, this home was insulated using external wall insulation, and the conservatory glass roof was replaced with high-tech glazing which is more energy efficient.
Better still, the owners were able to use one of the recent government grant schemes (Green Deal Home Improvement Fund) to help significantly with the cost of the insulation.
Did it work? Was it worth it? Was there much disruption?
The home owners have definitely seen a significant improvement in comfort. And if you'd like to know more, book on to a visit and ask them about it yourself.
Open Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April at 10am and 2pm
And on Sunday 3rd May at 2pm
