A summer and a winter on, the new space holds temperature without the boiler kicking in. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Bournemouth spotted that the existing kitchen waste was undersized and corrected it as part of the works. Total ยฃ72480. EPC went up two bands - the new envelope spec made a real difference.
