This project is slightly ahead of programme with all finishes removed and underside of roof boarding complete. The floor insulation (spacetherm) is currently being laid and wall insulation is due to follow on shortly. Following our fortnightly site meeting on Tuesday we made an inspection of this tiny (37Msq) almshouse property owned by Cambridge Housing Society.
Photographs show the underside of the existing roof lined with OSB and taped at junctions with Pro-Clima sealants/ adhesives to provide an air-tight envelope. The property was in fact even smaller when originally built in 1914. A flat roof kitchen extension was built at the rear (date unknown) of cavity wall blockwork construction. This is also being insulated internally as well as within the cavity.
This property was until recently void and the client is taking the opportunity to upgrade the property to Decent Homes standard to match the ongoing works in adjacent properties. This propert is due to complete in late January 2011.
