HELLO Kieran. We are considering extending our current home into our back garden. It is a standard bungalow built in the 1970s. My question is about insulation. While we have double glazing, I never felt the home was very warm or cosy. What are the next options for fully insulating both the new section and improving the existing?

Thank you,
