Rich Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Nice one, I take it they didn't mind having their photos taken!! The window frame by your back door could do with a lick of paint as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 This didn't happen to be with British Gas ? I just had my loft insulated free of charge this week and they are coming back to do my cavity walls free in a week or two. Kind of payback for raping me on my bills this year ! How does that cavity insulation work ? Is it polystyrene beads or something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that cavity insulation work ? Is it polystyrene beads or something ? dill holes in your outside wall and inject expandy foam in to the cavity. its great most of the time unless you need to run any more mains cable down the cavity... then your screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they actually get good coverage - i just got visions of a few pockets of expanding foam in the cavity near the drill hole and thats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-O Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 The stuff they put in is like fluffy wet news paper. that sounds a bit more viable (in my own mind) You'll appreciate that when the winter comes this year. They reckon it could be a shocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyelcomb Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 ...when the winter comes this year. They reckon it could be a shocker. Not too bothered about January - I'll be driving from London to Cape Town so I expect it to be quite warm most of the way! Might be a bit of a shock coming back on 1st Feb though... http://www.londoncapetownrally.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
