Room in Roof Insulation Up to 25% of heat loss in a home can be attributed to an un-insulated roof space. ​ ​ A room-in-roof or attic room is simply defined by the presence of a fixed staircase to access the room and there should be a window Many older properties that were originally built with loft room space or 'room-in-roof' were either not insulated at all or insulated using inadequate materials and techniques when compared to today's building regulations. . ​ By using the latest insulation materials and methods, insulating existing attic rooms means that you can still use the roof space for storage or additional room space if needed while still trapping heat in the property and rooms below. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ Can save between £500-£690 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a Mid-terrace house to a detached home). Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. ​ Apply for Funding Apply Now

RANNSACHADH WALL CAVITY Bidh timcheall air 35% de chall teas bho dhachaighean na RA a ’tachairt tro bhallachan taobh a-muigh gun chòmhdach. Ma chaidh do dhachaigh a thogail an dèidh 1920 tha coltas làidir ann gu bheil ballachan uaimhe air an togalach agad. Faodar balla caise a lìonadh le stuth inslitheach le bhith a ’stealladh grìogagan a-steach don bhalla. Tha seo a ’cuingealachadh blàths sam bith a’ dol eatorra, a ’lughdachadh an airgid a chosgas tu air teasachadh. ​ Faodaidh tu sgrùdadh a dhèanamh air an seòrsa balla agad le bhith a ’coimhead air a’ phàtran breige agad. Ma tha pàtran cothromach aig na breigichean agus air an cur sìos faid, tha coltas ann gu bheil uamhan sa bhalla. Ma thèid cuid de na breigichean a chuir sìos leis a ’cheann ceàrnagach mu choinneimh, tha coltas ann gum bi am balla cruaidh. Ma tha am balla cloiche, tha coltas ann gu bheil e cruaidh. ​ Ma chaidh do dhachaigh a thogail taobh a-staigh nan 25 bliadhna a dh ’fhalbh tha e coltach gu bheil e air a chòmhdach mar-thà no‘ s dòcha ann am pàirt dheth.

Ma tha insulation balla a-muigh air a chuir a-steach don dachaigh agad chan fheum obair a-staigh sam bith a bhith ann agus mar sin faodar an aimhreit a chumail cho ìosal. Is dòcha gu bheil feum air cead dealbhaidh agus mar sin bruidhinn ris an ùghdarras ionadail agad mus cuir thu seo a-steach don togalach agad. Chan urrainnear cuid de thogalaichean ùine a chuir a-steach air beulaibh an togalaich ach faodar a chuir a-steach air a chùlaibh. Faodaidh insulation balla a-muigh chan e a-mhàin sealladh do dhachaigh a leasachadh, ach cuideachd dìon na sìde agus neart fuaim a leasachadh, ri taobh a ’lughdachadh dreachan agus call teas. Meudaichidh e cuideachd beatha do bhallachan oir tha e a ’dìon na h-obrach breige agad, ach feumaidh iad sin a bhith làidir gu structarail mus tèid an stàladh. INSULATION WALL INNAL Tha insulation balla a-staigh foirfe airson dachaighean balla cruaidh far nach urrainn dhut taobh a-muigh an togalaich atharrachadh. ​ Ma chaidh do dhachaigh a thogail ro 1920 tha coltas làidir ann gu bheil ballachan Solid aig an togalach agad. ​ Faodaidh tu sgrùdadh a dhèanamh air an seòrsa balla agad le bhith a ’coimhead air a’ phàtran breige agad. ​ Ma thèid cuid de na breigichean a chuir sìos leis a ’cheann ceàrnagach mu choinneimh, tha coltas ann gum bi am balla cruaidh.

Mar as trice bidh bùird plastair polyisocyanurate Insulated (PIR) air an cleachdadh a ’cruthachadh balla a-staigh tioram le còmhdach. Tha na ballachan a-staigh an uairsin air an plastadh gus uachdar rèidh agus glan fhàgail airson ath-sgeadachadh. ​ Chan e a-mhàin gun dèan seo an taigh agad nas blàithe sa gheamhradh ach sàbhalaidh e airgead dhut cuideachd le bhith a ’slaodadh call teas tro bhallachan gun chòmhdach. ​ Bidh e a ’lughdachadh beagan làr ann an seòmraichean sam bith a thèid a chur an sàs (timcheall air 10cm gach balla) INSULATION LOFT Bidh teas bhon taigh agad ag èirigh agus mar thoradh air an sin thèid timcheall air cairteal den teas a thèid a chruthachadh a chall tro mhullach dachaigh gun chòmhdach.

Flat Roof Insulation A fl at roof is any roof space in your home with a pitch of less than 10 degrees. They are very easy to spot and as they don't usually have a loft space, they wont have a loft hatch. ​ F lat roofs being added to properties were popular in properties built between the 1950's - 1970's and if your flat roof is from this period, it is extremely unlikely to be insulated and if it is, it wont be up to todays standards. If your flat roof is uninsulated, it will mean that in winter, warm air will easily escape from any heated rooms through the flat roof, leaving the room cold and uninviting. ​ If you have recently had the membrane replaced if for example you had a leak, then it is unlikely that insulation was added, unless you specifically asked for it. ​ There are 2 ways to insulate your flat roof: ​ Warm Roof: ​ This involves adding rigid insulation board on to the roof from the outside and then coving with a waterproof membrane. This is the best way to insulate a flat roof as there are no condensation issues to contend with. Cold Roof: ​ This is the most common way that most households have their flat roofs insulated. It involves placing the insulation material between the joists spaces the support the roof. This can only be added if there is a gap of at least 50mm between the roof and the insulation to allow for air flow. ​ If you have very shallow joists then this is not recommended. As most heat is lost through uninsulated roof spaces, if you do have your flat roof insulated you can expect similar savings to insulating your loft depending on how much of your property the flat roof covers. ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form.

Non-Condensing Gas Boiler Upgrade We can offer a gas boiler upgrade if your current boiler is non-condensing and you own the property you currently live in , through the ECO4 scheme. ​ The new boiler will be a more efficient condensing Gas boiler . ​ Non-Condensing Boiler vs Condensing Gas Boilers ​ All new gas boiler installations must be condensing by law, which came into effect in 2005, however there are a small list of exceptions that can still allow a non-condensing boiler to be installed. ​ Only condensing boilers can be installed under the ECO4 scheme. There is no exceptions made under the scheme. ​ All well designed and maintained boilers burn their fuel efficiently, but non-condensing boilers inevitably lose heat in the form of hot gases that escape up the flue. This limits their overall efficiency. Non-condensing boilers may only have an efficiency rating of 70 to 80 per cent , while in old models this figure could be even lower at 50 to 60 per cent . In contrast, condensing boilers have been designed to minimise this heat loss and have an average efficiency of 95% with some models able to achieve 99% efficiency . Condensing boilers feature larger heat exchangers that cool the flue gases before they escape, condensing the water vapour out of them. The temperature of the flue gases during this heat exchange process drops rapidly from approximately 130℃ to 50℃. The condensation formed as a result is what gives the boilers their name, and there can be as much as two litres of it produced every hour. This condensate liquid is drained into a waste water outlet via a condensate pipe. Thanks to this additional heat exchange process, condensing boilers are able to extract virtually all of the heat latent in the flue gases. This additional heat energy is then transferred back into the heating system. The extra efficiency of condensing boilers means they can offer major cost savings and they are also more environmentally friendly, helping you to lower the carbon emissions of your household. ​ Advantages of condensing gas boilers ​ More energy-efficient as they use more of the fuel for usable heat Lower energy bills Use less fuel than non-condensing boilers to produce same amount of heat and hot water Reduced CO2 emissions and carbon footprint ​ How can I tell which type of boiler I have? There are 2 easy ways to check if your boiler is either condensing or non-condensing and you do not have a manual to hand. ​ If the boiler has a white plastic pipe coming out of the bottom of the boiler and then going outside into a drain, it is condensing . You will usually see the condensate pipe on the exterior wall to the boiler. If the flue is white plastic it is condensing . If it the flue is metal, then it is non-condensing . ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form. Apply for Funding Apply Now

Solar PV Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity that you can use in your home. A solar PV panel consists of many cells made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. When light shines on this material, a flow of electricity is created.​ The cells don’t need direct sunlight to work and can even work on cloudy days. However, the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity generated. ​ Solar PV systems are made up of several panels, with each panel generating around 410W of energy in strong sunlight. Typical systems contain around 10 panels and generate direct current electricity. Because the electricity used for household appliances is alternating current, an inverter is installed along with the system to convert direct current electricity into alternating current. This electricity can be used throughout your home or exported to the grid. ​ The benefits of solar electricity are that they cut your electricity bills. Sunlight is free, so once installation is complete, your electricity costs will be reduced. They will also cut your carbon footprint. Solar electricity is low carbon, renewable energy. A typical home solar PV system could save around one tonne of carbon per year, depending on where you live in the UK. ​ Space is a key consideration as is roof angle and the direction it faces. Ideally you want a south facing roof with a pitch at an angle of 30 or 40 degrees. East or west facing roofs can still be considered but North facing roofs are not recommended. ​ Also worth noting that are nearby buildings, chimneys or trees that shade your roof will have a negative impact on the performance of your system. ​ Planning permission is not usually required as Solar is classed as a permitted development but you should always check with your local authority before installing in case there are any local limits or restrictions. ​ With any domestic PV system, there will be times when the electricity you generate is more than you can use or store, so the surplus will be exported to the grid to be used by somebody else. ​ The old Feed-in Tariff closed for applications in March 2019 and has since been replaced by the Smart Export Guarantee. While not as generous as the Feed-in Tariff it is still a worthwhile scheme and does provide some financial support for electricity that you generate and export back to the grid. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: ​ The average cost of a domestic 4.2 kWp solar PV system is around £5000. If you include the Smart Export Guarantee you can save from £255 - £505 per year according to the Energy Saving Trust (saving depend on which part of the country you live in and how much time you are in the house when the Solar PV is generating electricity). Grant funding is available that can cover the full cost of installation (qualifying criteria apply). We also can offer a privately funded Solar PV package and finance. ​ To check if you are eligible under the ECO4 scheme, please click the button below and complete the online form.

External Wall Insulation About 35% of all heat loss from UK homes is due to un-insulated external walls. External wall insulation is defined as a layer of insulation that is fixed to an existing external wall. This layer will be finished either with a coat of render or with an alternative cladding to protect it from the elements. External wall insulation is perfect for solid wall homes where you want to improve the look of the exterior of your home and its thermal rating. ​ Bill savings and things to be aware of: Can save between £195-£650 a year on your fuel bills depending on property size (Figures from the Energy Saving Trust and assume property is a gas heated home and sized between a small flat to a large detached home). External wall insulation cannot only improve the look of your home, but also improve the weather proofing and sound resistance, alongside reducing drafts and heat loss. Having external wall insulation fitted to your home requires no internal work so the disruption can be kept to a minimum. Some period properties cannot have this installed to the front of the property but can have it installed to the rear. It will also increase the lifespan of your walls as it protects your brickwork, but these do need to be structurally sound before installation.
