Hello All.

              I'm at the back end of a two story extension (self build) on an older property (circa 1785). Taking down old extensions along the way. I've gone to great lengths with insulation, VC foil, everything silver tape sealed to everything else, MVHR. I realise I won't get full benefit as only 2/3 of the structure is covered, but it's already made a huge difference.

  I'd converted a large garage into a one bed detached annex about 7 years ago, same MO, floors taped to walls taped to ceiling, insulation everywhere, small 

MVHR unit. It was a resounding success, warm as toast, no condensation, no mould, cheap to run. My in-laws were chuffed to bits!

 

It was because of the success on the annexe I started on the house, but I underestimated the amount of work and the cost involved, I won't be doing this again!
