Insulation and energy upgrade services

• Spray Foam insulation: recommended when the attic is to be converted into a habitable room or there are plans to do so. It is applied between the roof rafters, allowing heat to circulate through the attic space.
• Wall insulation: the company also presents itself as a specialist in wall insulation.
• Insulated flooring: installation of insulated flooring solutions for those who wish to use the attic for storage, so that stored items are protected and accessible.
• BER assessments: building energy efficiency certification service through certified assessors, with detailed reports and recommendations to improve energy performance and reduce costs.
