Just a couple of photos to show the cavity wall insulation being installed at the 4th of our GDPP projects by our friends at Downs Energy Ltd. A really quick and hassle free way to reduce the energy lost through the walls of a cavity walled home by 4/5ths… A no brainer!
Been a terrific week!
Several of the GDPP projects have completed their external wall insulation… The 6 ‘big projects’ of the GDPP are well under way - the 4 ‘small projects’ that BGH have almost been done - working on the 4th and last this week…

Project update week 13
So very quickly we have moved into week 13 and the finishing touches are all happening. We have had several issues with Internet suppliers of bathrooms, tiles etc… Delivery companies dropping pallets etc. which have put all our schedules out. (Special mention for www.traderadiators.co.uk, www.wallsandfloors.co.uk who despite causing lots of grief through their delivery companies managed to eventually sort things …
Week 10 - project update XII

So much happens now that is hidden …

Project week 5 - update VII
