Specification for insulation measures

specification: WHAT’S INCLUDED

Do you already have some work in mind (e.g. loft insulation) and want a technical specification outlining how the retrofit should be carried out? Our Retrofit Coordinator can produce a specification that your contractors can use to help them quote.

We charge £80 for the visit plus the price of each specification. Specifications are priced individually based on the amount of time they take to produce. For example, the specification for external wall insulation costs around £50, the specification for suspended timber floor insulation costs around £25.

Our specification

  • Provides guidance on generic types of material (e.g. vapour permeable insulation systems) without specifying particular products

  • Defines appropriate principles and outcomes without restricting a contractor to exactly how they are achieved

  • Includes annotated floorplans and photographs to show your contractor what your project needs and any points that need attention

  • Identifies relevant parts of standards including Building Regulations and suggests higher standards if required

  • Provides guidance on the order in which to carry out the work for technical reasons or to achieve savings (e.g. coordinating the use of scaffolding)
