It really isn't the end of the world that price. I assume it'd cover your blowerdoor test too. 

 

Beware that it might still not function if you don't do a reasonably good job with airtightness in the first place. It's designed only for blocking small holes. It isn't magic.  I doubt you'd get a satisfactory result for example with your architect's roof details. There'd be far too many gaps the size of a 50p left to ever expect a method like that to work. 

 

Whatever you do if you want a house thats not leaky as a sieve you need to have a good design from the outset. 

 

 

 

 

They do actually fill small to medium holes as well during the blower. Their initial blower tech will indicate where they are so they can help with filling them up. The mist then does the smaller holes and effectively replaces the need for a parge coat on inner blockwork by sealing it.  They also provide consultation at the outset of how to do your wallplate junctions, chamber floor junctions etc 👍

It's a great technology. Keep us posted on how it looks. 

 

I wouldn't rule it out doing it to our house in 20 years time if I think we've lost some airtightness.

I would like to see some data on how well airtightness stands up are several years.

Only got to see how much a house can shake when a hoolie hits to know that they are not as rigid as some people think.
