  2. Hi Emma,

    I have a situation where a client is refurbing a bungalow by adding a new storey over. The external wall ground floor is o/a 280mm brick cavity wall, resulting in the first floor external wall being same size. To meet the regs would you favour a full fill cavity and insulate internally or full fill cavity with external insulation and render?

    1. Do you have details within you library i could download ?
    2. Do you have sample specifications to cover the various aspects of a house extension?

    • Hi there Mark,
      I’m afraid we can’t advise on individual projects. However, yes, we have plenty of examples on the detail library of both external insulation and internal insulation. We have a building regulations example document but I’m afraid we don’t have sample specifications for you specific type of project.
      Please head over to the Detail Library where you can browse the details: https://detail-library.co.uk/details/
