Rads in bedrooms!
I have seen lots and lots of the solid wall insulation jobs at a standstill due to running out of money.
By all means apply for green steal. But don't pay upfront for anything as they will just take you for a ride.
I have a three story Victorian house, I bought seconds of celotex from eBay. I bought 2 lorry loads at £1000 a pop. Something like a million sheets of 100mm.
I dry lined whole house with a ventilated gap behind insulation of 50mm. All foil walls , 99% air tight as all the studs and foil sheets were covered with foil tape.
Celotex in ceilings again 100% vapour barrier and the ground floor I removed the concrete and excavated 350mm and then built a suspended timber floor with 100mm celotex between them and then out wet ufh on top of it.
My loft has a lot of insulation too. It's a warm roof.
I don't think your builder or the green deal will take as much care with insulation.
Your heating system?
Defo ufh ground and bathrooms
Rads on zones above ff.
Unvented.
Don't think ashp is what u really need when on a budget. Solar thermal for your DHW.
Use a decent unvented ACV SL or similar. Pipe your house so that a everything comes back to a "low Loss headder"
Have two spare ports so that an alternative heat unit can be added into system at a later date but for now just hook up a gas boiler / if you can't afford the whole Hogg
Oversize your rads by the same amount say factor of 2 .
I would make the system as versatile as possible .
Get Worcester round to have a look he's the main man
Ermi where you get the seconds insulation at that price I need a lot of it
+1 I would like some tooErmi where you get the seconds insulation at that price I need a lot of it
