Recommendation for underfloor insulation - no more drafty floorboards!

Recommended Posts

We recently had underfloor insulation installed by Barry Sapwell, and can't recommend him highly enough!


We live in a Victorian conversion with a mix of exposed wooden floors and carpets and have had the heating pumping all winter to keep the house warm against the drafty floors.


Barry installs insulation underneath the floorboards in Victorian houses, still allowing the air to circulate underneath the house, but keeping the rooms a lot warmer - we actually had to turn our heating down the first night after it was finished! He lifts as few floorboards as possible to minimise mess and prevent damaging the boards.


Very reasonably priced, we're expecting to see a big decrease in our heating bills as well as having a much warmer home!

    • That all seems really poor. How could there be two different publicised dates for the consultation? Hopefully not deliberate 🙄
    • No, it doesn't. It's a lot of work and the library is a shagged out heritage building. You admit that you don't even know the scope of the work. It's not refitting a corner shop over the Xmas holidays.
    • The published planning application proposal summary runs: "25/AP/1010  Installation of air source heat pumps; acoustic screening; pipework and trunking; replacement of radiators with air conditioning units; secondary glazing; replacement of non-original lantern roof; internal refurbishment including decoration, new fittings, toilets, kitchenettes, and remedial works to building fabric." https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SU76HIKBJGS00 The officer's assessment includes mention of an external buggy store, which sounds a good idea if it's for use by visiting tots.  I remember one morning when I found the ground floor part-occupied by buggies, even in a few book bays.  🙂
    • Its good to hear concern for this amazing resource. If you ever visit you will find it full of Dulwich teenagers upstairs studying for exams, community is so vital for that generation. I am sure we dont want that to evaporate entirely. There is not much left. With all knowledge of the huge wealth that exists in the area, it would be so warm and rewarding for some of that to be passed to Dulwich library. The ground floor loos were returning to a state of nature itself. Moss was starting to grow.   X
