Ok, since checking our "Carbon Footprint" and realising I'm chucking away
sh*tloads of £££s in lost heat costs because of draughts in our 1896
semi-detached solid wall cottage I reckon the only way left to insulate
(Given that it's already DGd and has 200mm of loft insulation) is to stop
the draught under the wooden floors downstairs.

So,
Who's done what and what has it cost with a ball-park pay-back period....

Let the thread commence...................


Dont reckon, get a energy audit, the most important thing for an old
home is a blower door test, the tech will pinpoint air leaks with a
smoke stick and give you a printout of air exchanges per hour that you
have , what it should be and what to fix. Spray foam would seal and
insulate best. I was showed leaks where I never imagined they would be
and fixed them



Who does that? (Yellow pages? any idea what section?)
That sounds like it might be interesting.
