Underfloor, internal wall and loft insulation for older homes. Lowering bills without trapping moisture. Lincoln and 30 miles around.
Retrofit insulation is where most older properties go wrong. Wrap a Victorian wall in plastic sheet and the wall stays wet and the timber rots. Done properly, with breathable systems and the right detailing, you get warmer rooms, lower bills and a healthy building. Done badly, you get condensation behind the plasterboard.
Most of my work comes from word of mouth. Lincoln is a small enough city that bad jobs follow you around, so I treat every property as if my reputation depends on it. Because it does.
Every quote is line-by-line and fixed. You see the cost of every stage and every material before I lift a tool. No sliding scope, no surprise variations.
Every retrofit & insulation job includes a free site visit, a written quote, the work itself with all materials and labour, certification where notifiable, and aftercare for any genuine issue with the work.
The detail, the materials, the sequencing. Six things that separate work that lasts from work that does not.
Kingspan or mineral wool between joists with breathable membrane, supported on netting. Significant heat-loss reduction in any older property.
Breathable wood-fibre or PIR systems where appropriate. Detailing at floor and ceiling junctions to avoid condensation traps.
Rolled mineral wool up to current standards, ventilation maintained, eaves not blocked. Boarded loft solutions where you need storage.
Sash window brushes, door seals, floor edge sealing. The cheapest pound you can spend on a heating bill.
Every wall assessed for moisture risk before specifying a system. Wrong insulation is worse than no insulation.
Junctions, penetrations, services taped and sealed. The performance is in the detailing, not just the product.
A free site visit, honest advice, and a proper written quote. No pressure, no pitch. Just a straight answer from a tradesman who actually cares.
