Cladding news update May 2012

Upon installation of insulated cladding, consideration needs to be given to window cills, pipes, vents, wires, eve overhang, boiler flues etc, this is because the external wall of your property, once applied will be thicker, meaning flues, vents and window cills have to be extended.

Cladding Update April.
More and more residents are highlighting problems surrounding the cladding in New Wortley Leeds including private homes where no work has taken place..

May Update Once  information has been correlated and verified it will be published. Need to check how many vents you had before the cladding ?look on the updated google maps and look at the street view a picture is worth a thousand words.

Have any stories relating to the cladding to tell or better still photos please contact us.

Project Statement.
'For the first time in the UK, the Partners will work together in adopting a fully integrated, whole-house approach while installing energy efficiency measures and micro generation technologies in households.

Through individual household assessments the project will identify a highly individual package of measures for each of the households and which will provide optimal insulation and energy control to the house'.
 
The Wimpey no Fines properties (houses) on the estate are of four types.The four bedroom houses and the small two bedroom houses have wooden front hall extensions and  the heat loss from these would still need addressing for the houses to become truly thermally efficent.
The three bedroom and the large two bedrooms houses do not have these wooden hall extensions and just have a canopy over the front doors(not back doors).
