Garage conversions often necessitate supplementary insulation as the garage space will be changed into a habitable room, and consequently needs to adhere to building regulations for insulation in this type of space. These regulations specify a U-value for insulation, which gauges the rate of heat loss. These are set differently for walls, floors, and roofs. To adhere to building regulations the garage conversion must meet the U-values in all three of these areas, but additional insulation can be installed to surpass these values and improve energy efficiency. Wall insulation for garage conversions is normally performed by using internal wall insulation, which adds insulated plasterboard to the pre-existing walls. This will add thermal insulation and stop heat from dissipating through the walls. Insulation must be installed around doors and windows as these areas can leak heat especially badly. Roofs for garage conversions will also require insulation. Pitched roofs will require insulation to the same standard as the rest of your house. Flat roofs also require insulation. This is done by using a cold roof system, where insulation is fixed between the roof joists along with ventilation to prevent condensation forming. The other option is a warm roof, where insulation is added above the roof joists. Floor insulation is also essential in garage conversions. This is easier if the floor level of the garage requires lifting in order to meet the rest of the house as an extra layer of insulation can be easily added to either a elevated concrete floor, timber joists or a floating floor. If the floor doesn’t need to be lifted it could be necessary to dig out the floor to add the required insulation.

Beckenham is a district within the London Borough of Bromley. It borders Beckenham Place Park and Bellingham inside the London Borough of Lewisham. It’s 8.4 miles south east of Charing Cross. Beckenham had been a tiny village within the borough in Kent with a lot of land serving as private parkland till the railway was built in 1857. Just after that, an entrepreneurial family started constructing villas which triggered the population to rise massively from just 2,000 to 26,000 between 1850 and 1900. Since 1900, housing has been constructed at a steadier pace, which means the population is starting to balance out. In the 2011 census, the population stood at 56,668. The district is served by three primary railway stations as well as six more inside the post town. There’s also two Croydon Tramlink stations towards the west of the district. Transport for London buses serve the Beckenham area to link it with other towns which include Bromley, Catford, Croydon and Crystal Palace. Beckenham is recognised for its numerous church buildings. St George’s Church is the primary parish church and stands in the centre of the district. It goes back to around 1100, but was majorly rebuilt in the end of the 1800s. It consists of a 13th century lynch gate that’s thought to be one of the oldest of its kind in England.
