Garage conversions typically necessitate extra insulation as the garage space will be changed into a habitable room, and consequently must adhere to building regulations for insulation in this type of room. These regulations specify a U-value for insulation, which measures the rate of heat loss. These are set differently for walls, flooring, and roofs. To comply with 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 typically accomplished by using internal wall insulation, which adds insulated plasterboard to the pre-existing walls. This will add thermal insulation and prevent heat from dissipating through the walls. Insulation must also be added around windows and doors as these areas can leak heat especially badly. Roofs for garage conversions will also require insulation. Pitched roofs need insulation to the same standard as the rest of your home. Flat roofs also require insulation. This is done using a cold roof system, where insulation is fixed between the roof joists along with ventilation to avoid condensation forming. The other possibility is a warm roof, where insulation is added above the roof joists. Floor insulation is also required in garage conversions. This is less difficult if the floor level of the garage requires raising in order to meet the rest of the home as an additional layer of insulation can be easily put into either a lifted concrete floor, timber joists or a floating floor. If the floor does not need to be elevated it might be necessary to dig out the floor to add the required insulation.

New Malden is a residential area in southwest London, in the boroughs of Kingston and Merton. It lies 9.4 miles from Charing Cross, with neighboring areas being Kingston upon Thames, Raynes Park, Surbiton, Tolworth, Wimbledon and Worcester Park. The town developed wholly since of the coming of the train when New Malden Railway Station opened in 1846 on the main line from Waterloo. The name originates from the prior village of old Malden, which was two miles to the south of the town, which translates from Old English as ‘the cross on the hill’. Development of residences went off with a sluggish start, starting to speed up nearer the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century after the building of both two and 3 bedroom terraced homes. From the 1930s, the development of detached and semi-detached houses started. The town is the home of a wide array of social, sports and leisure activities. The Malden Centre is a sports centre including a swimming pool, a gym and community facilities, as well as offering adult learning courses. A football pitch, tennis courts, a children’s playground, allotments and open area can be located at Beverley Park.
