|
|
Broadly speaking, the high level steps to an internal wall insulation job are the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Demolition: This involves removing existing wall linings, fittings, and any other obstacles.
|
|
It's important to factor in the disposal of debris and the potential need for additional protective
|
|
measures to ensure the safety of the work area.
|
|
|
|
2) Insulation Installation: This is the core part of the process where the chosen insulation material is
|
|
applied. The choice of insulation material will depend on several factors including thermal performance,
|
|
wall construction, and space constraints.
|
|
|
|
3) Vapour Barrier Installation: This is crucial for preventing moisture from penetrating the insulation,
|
|
which can compromise its effectiveness and lead to mold growth.
|
|
|
|
4) Re-decoration: This involves applying plaster to the wall and then painting.
|
|
The quality of finish here is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
|
|
|
|
5) Trim and Finishing Work: Post-insulation, tasks such as re-installing skirting boards, door frames,
|
|
or window sills might be necessary.

"""
|
|
We characterise the steps for solid floor insulation as the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
1) Removal of Carpet and Underfelt: This is the initial stage where any existing floor coverings, like carpets,
|
|
tiles, or linoleum, are carefully removed. This exposes the solid floor beneath, which is typically concrete.
|
|
|
|
2) Preparation of Flooring: This step is critical. It involves:
|
|
- Cleaning the existing floor surface thoroughly to remove debris and ensure a flat surface.
|
|
- Assessing and repairing any damage to the concrete floor. This might include filling cracks or leveling
|
|
uneven areas.
|
|
|
|
3) Installation of a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM): Before installing insulation, a DPM is often laid down to
|
|
prevent moisture from rising into the insulation and the interior space. This step is crucial in areas prone to
|
|
dampness.
|
|
|
|
4) Install Insulation: The insulation, often in the form of rigid foam boards, is laid over the DPM.
|
|
The choice of insulation material will depend on the desired thermal properties and the available floor height.
|
|
Care is taken to minimize thermal bridges and ensure a snug fit between insulation boards.
|
|
|
|
5) Laying a New Subfloor: Over the insulation, a new subfloor is often installed. This could be a layer of
|
|
screed (a type of concrete) or wooden boarding, depending on the specific requirements and preferences.
|
|
|
|
6) Re-decoration and Finishing Touches: Once the subfloor is in place and has set or dried (if necessary),
|
|
the final floor finish can be applied. This might involve:
|
|
- Laying new tiles, wooden flooring, or other chosen materials.
|
|
- If you're planning to re-carpet, this would be the stage to do it.
|
|
- Skirting boards may need to be refitted or replaced.
|
|
|
|
7) Considerations for Doors and Fixtures: It's important to note that raising the floor level can affect door
|
|
thresholds and other fixtures. Doors may need to be trimmed, and fixtures might need adjustments.

We characterise external wall insulation as the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1) Preparation of the Area: Tidying up the surroundings, trimming back foliage, and laying down protective
|
|
sheets to protect the flooring and landscaping around the work area.
|
|
|
|
2) Scaffolding Setup (if needed): Erecting scaffolding for safe access to the walls of semi-detached or
|
|
detached houses. For terraced houses or lower-level work, scaffolding might not be necessary.
|
|
|
|
3) Wall Surface Preparation: Cleaning the wall surface, removing any loose or flaking material,
|
|
and possibly applying a primer. If the existing wall is weak or damaged, partial or full replacement
|
|
of the top surface may be necessary.
|
|
|
|
4) Applying Primer: If the existing wall is suitable, applying a primer to improve adhesion of the insulation
|
|
boards and stabilize the wall surface, especially if it's old or weathered.
|
|
|
|
5) Insulation Application: Attaching insulation boards to the primed wall using adhesive, mechanical fixings,
|
|
or a combination of both.
|
|
|
|
6) Basecoat and Mesh Application: Applying a basecoat embedded with a reinforcing mesh over the insulation.
|
|
This layer provides strength and helps prevent cracking.
|
|
|
|
7) Decorative Finish: Applying a decorative finish, such as render or cladding, which protects the insulation
|
|
and provides an aesthetic look.
|
|
|
|
8) Reinstalling Fixtures: Reattaching any fixtures like downpipes, satellite dishes, or lighting fixtures that
|
|
were removed during preparation. Extensions or adjustments may be required due to the increased wall thickness.
|
|
|
|
9) Inspection and Cleanup: Conducting a thorough inspection to ensure quality and integrity of the EWI system,
|
|
followed by cleaning up the site to remove all debris and materials.
|
|
|
|
In the actual materials data, at this point, we have costing for:
|
|
- wall preparation, hacking off existing wall finishes, linings, etc (ewi_wall_demolition)
|
|
- wall surface cleaning and priming (ewi_wall_preparation)
|
|
- insulation (external_wall_insulation)
|
|
- basecoat and mesh with decorative render topcoat finish (ewi_basecoat_and_mesh)
|
|
|
|
All of this data comes from SPONS, however there are some clear features missing. Because we could not find
|
|
suitable cost records in SPONS for steps like cleaning the area, setting up small scale scaffolding,
|
|
re-attaching any fitings and cleaning up the area afterwards, instead we have accounted for these steps by
|
|
increasing the preliminaries rate. It is acknowldeged though, that this is not ideal and that the cost of these
|
|
steps should be included in the materials data. We will look to improve this in the future, with data from
|
|
installers

Warm, flat roof insulation will normally be 100-125mm in depth
|
|

We break this measure down into the following jobs to be done
|
|
1) Preparation of the room. This involves cleaning the existing roof surface, removing any debris and repairing
|
|
any damage. Additionally, an edge barrier will likely need to be installed, to protect the sides of the
|
|
roof from water ingress.
|
|
2) Primer Application. A layer of primer is applied to the clean roof surface to enhance the adhestia of
|
|
subsequent layers, and seal the existing roof surface.
|
|
3) Vapour Proof Layer Installation. Lay a vapour control layer to prevent moisture ingress from inside the
|
|
building, which is essential in warm roof construction.
|
|
4) Insulation Layer Application. Place and securely fix insulation boards over the roof. These could be rigid
|
|
boards like PIR (Polyisocyanurate).
|
|
5) Waterproofing Membrane Installation: Cover the insulation (and timber layer, if used) with a
|
|
waterproofing membrane, like EPDM, PVC, or bituminous felt. Carefully seal all joints, edges, and around any
|
|
roof penetrations to ensure water tightness
