Hi John, We would always suggest external insulation rather than internal insulation, where you have the option, because as John Botham states there is a real risk of interstitial condensation, and potential mould and damage to the structure. If you do need to do it internally be careful not to add to much and ensure it is fitted carefully without gaps and with a good vapour barrier - especially around electric sockets etc. if you use a product such as Kingspan. It is also vital that you return the insulation in around the windows, this makes significant differences to overall performance and the risk of condensation and mould at this point, though this insulation can be thinner. We often recommend a breathable insulation such as Pavadentro when internal insulation is required, as this allows the moisture to come in and out of the wall. Careful detailing at internal wall junctions, floors and roof are also needed, along with good airtightness sealing, while you are doing it. Putting a price on external insulation is difficult as it depends on many factors, such as needing to move down pipes, extending eaves etc, along with thickness and type of insulation. A good render, installed correctly should last many years without the need for any maintenance and can perform to a much higher standard than internal. You asked if we do work in Cheshire, yes, we cover quite a wide area we are working on projects from Mold in Wales to the Channel islands, give us a call if you would like to discuss further.

Thanks both for your help, my only issue with the white apart from the cleanliness is fact that we would have to stop at the edge of the brick and then carry to paint the top part white too, and I actually quite like the original stone colour. That’s why I was thinking a grey beige to kind of blend with the original.. but then it’s committing to carry on right through the porch and where to stop😂🙈 Does anyone know if you can clean/strip paint off brick? Doubt it as assume would soak in

I’d love a natural wood door Sonia and most oak porch pictures have that to tie in with the wood. It also stands out less against the brick but am worried about it all being too ‘brown’. Our brick is not all that attractive and is fairly dark red/brown/purple. Hope you can decide on your door colour. Can’t go wrong with peacock blue! That second photo you just posted above is lovely too though. Someone else posted it too. I don’t go for greys usually but it’s lovely in the picture.

Like Isla, I think it looks beautiful and serves a very practical purpose so I’m thinking the negatives would outweigh any positives if you were to change it. Why do you think ‘structurally it’s not very strong’? You say ‘others nearby have done it’ so can you let us see some examples? And do you think by doing this work your neighbours have improved their homes? Sorry to be so negative but I love your porch as it is.
