Condensation (hot air from cooking and bathing onto cold walls) in the winter is a real problem, living with mouldy walls, clothes and furniture is not fun. It’s uneconomic to have the heating on all day and so the outer solid walls never warm up. After lots of research we decided to warm up our problem walls by insulating them.
I fixed plasterboard with foam insulation attached directly to the walls and decorate. At 50mm thick it is the current building regulations standard, also increasing our properties energy rating. My wife also said it hides that nasty old plasterwork.
Now we have our furniture up close to the walls and no more mould. PLUS the rooms warm up quicker and we have been able to turn down the boiler temperature, by half.
It makes sense to insulate our house walls as we insulate our lofts. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with ask any questions.

Before a Jackson Loft conversion
You can check yourself by measuring the floor of your loft to the apex of your roof and this measurement is more than 7ft 6″ (2.3 metres, 90″ or 230cms) then you have a good chance of gaining the extra space you require. A consultation visit is FREE, I can help you with a ball park figure and ideas of how to get maximum space for your conversion.
Please email me through this contact form to organise a suitable time for me to pop round.
The cost depends on the size and requirements of the customer. When I make an initial visit to a customers house I listen to their needs and take measurements then I can produce an accurate quote.
I am very happy to give a ball park figure once most lofts are the same size and shape.

I am always asked this question and of course it varies on the size of your house. If it were an average, 3 bedroom terraced house, a dormer loft conversion including a master bedroom and with an en-suite bathroom, this would take between 6 to 8 weeks.
A Velux or eves loft conversion in an average 3 bedroom terraced house with a master bedroom and an en-suite bathroom would take between 5 to 6 weeks.

This roof has been converted from a hip roof to a gable end roof. This increases the internal space substantially. This method of extending a roof increases the design possibilities.
For example on a semi detached house you could accommodate 2 bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft conversion.
It can also include a box dormer on the rear of the property.
The box dormer gives you room for larger windows, patio or bifold doors. Letting in more light to your room.
This is an attractive architectural feature of Sussex.
This addition to the roof allow head room for the staircase.
