What we look for in Letchworth Garden City
As well as Letchworth Garden City itself, we quote in Hitchin, Stevenage and Luton. It's roughly 24 miles from Letchworth Garden City to Watford, the largest town in Hertfordshire.

Much of Hertfordshire sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
On solid-walled houses in Letchworth Garden City, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Solid wall insulation in Letchworth Garden City: questions
Is solid wall insulation worth it?
For many solid-walled homes it's one of the biggest single improvements to comfort, because the walls are often the largest heat-loss area. Savings depend on the home and heating, so we don't promise a figure.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
