The Challenge
Mr Yeomans wanted to modernise his long-term home without the high cost and disruption of structural changes.
Identifying the Problem
What was the existing condition of the structure/material?
The primary concern was poor thermal performance, with the client reporting noticeable "cold spots" internally near the dormers.
What were the client's pain points or goals?
The customer reported uncomfortable "cold spots" internally near the dormers, indicating poor thermal insulation. His goal was to achieve a sleek, modern look with improved energy efficiency while working within the existing footprint of the house.
The Solution
Assessment:
Jordann and the team recommended a full "building envelope" refresh. We prioritised sealing the failing dormers with GRP and upgrading the windows to eliminate heat loss.Materials Used:
- Roofing: GRP capping: a cost-effective, durable and leak-resistant solution.- Windows: uPVC in Concrete Grey for high thermal efficiency.- Cladding: Hardie® Plank (Black) for dormer cheeks and Cedral Click (Black) to replace the front render.- Entrance: Hallmark Esprit 2 Door with Black Diamond decorative glass and satin side panels.
Implementation:
We replaced the failing felt with GRP roofing, adding custom decorative mouldings for a sleek finish. The worn timber was swapped for black cladding, and the new windows were installed to tie the modern look together. Finally, we performed a soft wash roof clean and colour-matched the garage door to the window RAL number.Result Focus:
The revamp successfully modernised the property's aesthetic while solving the internal "cold spots" through high-spec insulation and materials.
