Woodlands House

The project

Refurbishment of a fabulous old country farmhouse, bringing it up to modern living standards.

Externally, work was needed to stop water penetration causing damp problems inside. This involved new chimney stacks; hardwood doors and sliding sash windows; sandblasting, repointing, cement waterproofing and painting of the external walls; new cast aluminium guttering and a new porch to the rear. An air source heat pump and solar panels were installed to modernise the heating system.

Internal work involved new electrical and heating systems; a chemical damp proof course and a cement waterproof tanking system; insulation of the outer walls, attics, partitions and ceilings; new kitchen and bathrooms, plastering and decorating.
