Stockport Market – Insulating a Piece of History

by Helen Cox / Wednesday, 17 January 2024 / Published in Uncategorized

Tackling History

One of our latest projects was to insulate the loft of a 200 year old listed building adjacent to the iconic Stockport market. This commercial property offers retail storage space and a shop front spread over three floors. There was a new tenant taking over the lease and the Landlord was concerned about a lack of insulation.

Survey Findings

The team at Green Horizon Energy Solutions Ltd undertook a site survey. This confirmed the Landlords concerns, a lack in insulation. Considering the age of the property at 200 years old, the roof was in excellent condition. A breathable roof felt indicated that there had been a new roof not too long ago. Original slates were present from the outside, indicating they had been reclaimed and re-installed on top of a modern roof felt. At ceiling level, the joists looked to be a mix of new and old timber, clearly having some work done to strengthen the integrity of the old ceiling.

The Work

First Green Horizon Energy Solutions installation team laid a base layer of 100mm Knauf roll out insulation between the joists. Then followed an additional layer of 200mm Knauf roll was laid across the top. Care was taken to make sure sufficient air flow at eves level was left free for ventilation above the insulation and to prevent any issues with condensation.

Outcomes

The total 300mm of insulation provides a U value of circa 0.15 offering great thermal resistance for the commercial property. Energy costs will be cut for the tenant and it will also provide a comfortable environment to work in. Don’t just take our word for it though – our customer left us a 5* review on Google.

“Good service from initial contact to insulation being installed.
Excellent communication!
Highly recommended!”
