External Wall Insulation

Posted by J Jain, on
I have two questions. 1) I need to get external wall insulation but finding it impossible to find an installer and provider - why is so difficult, given the recent increase in cash back from DECC; 2) on a more practical point should new windows be fitted before or after the EWI (should we ever get it)?

hi to find your installer go to website insulation-installers.co.uk and click your area and a list will come up of suppliers. they will send some one out to book a survey. be careful of who you pick to do the job-do your home work via the internet if cavity wall is for you and your house. what type is best because there are different types of insulation. it would be best to do your windows first because when frames are removed you do get a spill from the cavity and this will then create air pockets.

What would you like to do now?
