Like many Georgian townhouses in North London, this one sits in a conservation area, so external wall insulation cannot be fitted to the front. We had to install the thermal envelope on the inside of the external walls.
When we arrived, the main contractor who carried out the structural alterations had stripped the walls back to bare brickwork. We sprayed Diathonite lime-cork insulating plaster throughout the house - from the basement to the third floor. We then applied an Argatherm lime smoothing coat, ready for the decorators to finish with breathable paint. From the street, nothing has changed.
