Current Condition Proposed Alterations
Assumed existing
external leaf 102mm
concrete bricks, then a
50mm cavity, then an
internal leaf of 102mm
concrete blocks,
finished with a layer of
18mm plaster.
Existing external
brickwork is stained
from water damage due
to poor drainage on the
east face, but other than
this the walls are in
relatively good
condition.
Proposed - additional dry-lining
board to the internal face of the
existing wall, consisting of 85mm
kingspan kooltherm K17
insulated dry-linig board in
between steel U channels, with
12.5mm plasterboard, finished
with a layer of 2.5mm skim.
Assumed existing
solid 260mm
blockwork internal
partition wall. These
walls have not been
finished with a layer of
plaster they blockwork
has just been painted.
Existing solid
blockwork internal walls
are unfinished ie. the
blockwork has just
been painted. They are
in relatively good
condition as they have
not been exposed to
the elements.
Proposed - additional dry-
linig board to both faces of
the partition wall, consisting
of 50mm kingspan kolltherm
K17 insulated dry-lining
board in between steel U
channels, with 12.5mm
plasterboard, finished with a
layer of 2.5mm skim. This
to be done to both sides of
the wall.
Assumed existing
150mm concrete slab
with 30mm concrete
screed, with 10mm
torch on felt, then a
rubber membrane,
finished with a layer of
150mm pebbles.
Existing roof is in
relatively bad condition
as can be seen from the
underside of the roof
there is alot of water
damage and the roof is
not insulated so there is
major condensation
issues that need to be
addressed.
Proposed - additional dry-
lining board at internal ceiling
level consisting of 85mm
kingspan kooltherm K17
insulated dry-lining board in
between timber battens,
12.5mm plasterboard
finished with a 2.5mm skim.
The existing rubber
membrane needs to be
stripped and the torch on felt
repaired and the pebbles
replaces, and the drainage
issues addressed.
Assumed existing
150mm concrete
floor slab, with 30mm
concrete screed,
topped with either
22mm Parquet
flooring or terazzo
flooring.
Existing floor in relatively
good condition
structurally but in terms
of thermal performance
there is room for
sufficient improvement.
The parquet and
terrazzo flooring is quiet
sufficiently dammaged
and will need to be
repaired where possible
and if not replaced.
Proposed - remove existing
harwood flooring to be repaired
where possible and if not
replaced, additional 80mm
kingspan Therma TF70 in
between timber battens to be
added on top of existing
screed. Repaired hardwood
flooring to be put back down
on top of the new insulation.
Assumed existing
timber framed,
single glazed pivot
windows currently
achieveing a u-
value of 4.8w/m²k
Existing windows are
old, in relatively bad
condition and rotting in
places. Window cills are
recessed allowing water
to sit and not drain
correctly. This poor
water drainage is
causing water damage
and the timber frames to
rot. Glass in some of the
windows is cracked or
damaged.
Proposed - Upgrading to
double glazed argon filled
timber framed windows which
will achieve a u-value of
1.8w/m²k. Install draught
proofing strips around all
windows to lower heat loss
even more. Address detailing
at cill to fix the water drainage
problem from occuring.
Conservation Principles to be followed:
Keeping a building in use – Is generally seen as the best
way to keep the building up to a good standard. If a
change of use must occur, minimum damage must be
made to the original character of the building.
Researching and analysing – Much research must be
done on the history, the fabric and the current condition of
the building before any proposals for works can be made.
Using expert conservation advice – expert advice should
be sought throughout the planning process and the
construction process to ensure that the works are
completed correctly.
Protecting the special interest – Inappropriate works
can damage the character and special interest of a
building, so special care must be taken to ensure this
does not happen.
Promoting minimum intervention – “do as much as
necessary and as little as possible”.
Respecting earlier alterations of interest – Earlier
alterations can be an insight into past construction
techniques and must be respected. They are
irreplaceable.
Repairing rather than replacing – the main aim should
be to repair rather than replace because to get the same
quality of materials now is next to impossible and most of
the materials were made by hand.
Promoting honesty of repairs and alterations –
materials used in replacement should not be artificially
aged; this will add confusion in the future as to when the
alterations were made.
Using appropriate materials and methods – appropriate
materials must be used during restoration as in past
examples certain materials accelerated the decay.
Ensuring reversibility of alterations – by ensuring
reversibility of alterations in the future this can allow a
quick fix to unforeseen problems caused by earlier
restorations.
Avoid incremental damage – major thought must be
given by the planning authority to the impact of minor
works to the character of protected structures.
Discouraging the use of architectural salvage from
other buildings – the re-use of architectural features can
confuse the understanding and appreciation of a
building, and promoting architectural salvage can cause
a market for these materials and promotes dismantling
of other old buildings.
Assumed existing
reinforced concrete
column with a 300mm
external face that steps
back 100mm and has
15mm insets on both
sides. The internal face
is 270mm in width. The
column has an overall
depth of 400mm.
Existing reinforced
concrete columns and
beams are in relatively
good condition but there
are cracks in certain
places throughout the
building. There is also
evidence of water
staining damage on the
face of the concrete
beams and columns.
Proposed - Fix all the cracks in
the structural columns and
beams. Additional insulation to
the inner face of the column in
line with the additional
insulation to the wall. 25mm
kingspan kooltherm K17
insulated dry-lining board in
between steel U channels, with
12.5mm plasterboard, finished
with a layer of 2.5mm skim.

Promoting honesty of repairs and alterations –
materials used in replacement should not be artificially
aged; this will add confusion in the future as to when the
alterations were made.
Using appropriate materials and methods – appropriate
materials must be used during restoration as in past
examples certain materials accelerated the decay.
Ensuring reversibility of alterations – by ensuring
reversibility of alterations in the future this can allow a
quick fix to unforeseen problems caused by earlier
restorations.
Avoid incremental damage – major thought must be
given by the planning authority to the impact of minor
works to the character of protected structures.
Discouraging the use of architectural salvage from
other buildings – the re-use of architectural features can
confuse the understanding and appreciation of a
building, and promoting architectural salvage can cause
a market for these materials and promotes dismantling
of other old buildings.

consisting of 85mm kingspan kooltherm K17 insulated dry-linig board in between
steel U channels, with 12.5mm gypsum plasterboard with a 60minute fir rating in
accordance with BS 476, finished with a layer of 2.5mm skim.
Proposed upgrade to existing internal walls
Proposed - additional dry-linig board to both faces of the partition wall, consisting
of 50mm kingspan kolltherm K17 insulated dry-lining board in between steel U
channels, with 12.5mm gypsum plasterboard with a 60minute fire rating in
accordance with BS 476, finished with a layer of 2.5mm skim. This to be done to
both sides of the wall.
Proposed upgrade to existing floor
Proposed - remove existing harwood flooring to be repaired where possible and
if not replaced, additional 80mm kingspan Therma TF70 in between timber
battens to be added on top of existing screed. Repaired hardwood flooring to be
put back down on top of the new insulation.
Proposed upgrade to existing roof
Proposed - additional dry-lining board at internal ceiling level consisting of 85mm
kingspan kooltherm K17 insulated dry-lining board in between timber battens,
12.5mm plasterboard finished with a 2.5mm skim. The existing rubber membrane
needs to be stripped and the torch on felt repaired and the pebbles replaces, and
the drainage issues addressed.

Proposed upgrade to existing windows
Proposed - Upgrading to double glazed argon filled timber framed windows which
will achieve a u-value of 1.8w/m²k. Install draught proofing strips around all
windows to lower heat loss even more. Address detailing at cill to fix the water
drainage problem from occuring.
Proposed upgrade to existing internal doors
Proposed upgrading of existing doors throughout the ground floor with smoke
seals all around and covered in a layer of intumescent paint to provide a fire
resistance of 30mins.
New Extension
Structural Foundations – 540mm X 400mm reinforced concrete ring beams to
carry the load of the external and internal walls, while also allocating a space for
the hollowcore flooring to sit into. The hollowcore flooring will bear half way on to
each beam and be securely strapped back using T12 tie bars bedded in with the
screed. Each structural glulam column will be connected back to a 360mm x
360mm square reinforced concrete column. Each concrete column will vary in
depth as the ground is gradually sloped. The reinforced concrete column will be
structurally supported below by a pad foundation. Each column is to have its own
individual pad foundation where possible.
Ground Floor Build Up – DPM to be placed between hollowcore floor slabs and
ground, 200mm precast concrete hollowcore flooring slabs to be connected back
to the reinforced concrete ring beams, both in accordance with BS EN 1992-1-
2:2004. 75mm structural concrete screed to be placed on top of the hollowcore
flooring slabs. 80mm Kingspan Kooltherm K3 Floorboard to be placed on top of
the structural screed, with 80mm x 40mm thimber battens @ 600mm c/c to be
placed in between. 18mm plywood sheeting to be placed over the insulation and
fixed back to the timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Finally the floor is to be finished
in accordance with the use of each specific room, with 22mm oak flooring to be
placed in most areas and a tile finish to be placed in the kitchen and WC areas.
Intermediate Floor Build Up – On the underside, the floor is to be finished with a
2.5mm plaster skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is
followed by a 25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in between
25mm x 75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated
timber panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc board in
place. The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x 40mm layers)
cross laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam beam to another.
Above this there is another layer of 50mm rockwool insulation in between 25mm
x 50mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Then sheets of 18mm plywood finally
finished off with a 22mm oak flooring or a tile finish depending on the use of the
room.
Roof Build Up - On the underside, the roof is to be finished with a 2.5mm plaster
skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is followed by a
25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in between 25mm x
75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber
panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc board in place.
The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x 40mm layers) cross
laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam beam to another. Above
this a vapour barrier layer is to be added. Followed by 120mm Kingspan
Thermaroof TR31, then a 3G base layer, finished with a triple layer of built up felt
waterproofing.
External Wall Build Up – From Exterior: 8mm external lime render finish, 40mm
wood fibre combined breather membrane board, 12mm timbervent, 400mm
wheat straw bale insulation in between 400mm ‘I’ studs spaced @ 600mm c/c,
15mm OSB, 25mm services cavity in between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber
battens fixed back to the 15mm OSB, finished on the interior side with a layer of
12.5mm gyproc board and 2.5mm plaster skim finish. Each end of the straw bale
panel is closed with a 43mm x 400mm glulaminated column. This system is from
the manufacturer Modcell, it is the Modcell Core + panel. This wall panel
achieves a u-value of 0.11 W/(m2K), a fire rating of 120mins, and an acoustic
performance rating of 52db.

New Extension
Structural Foundations – 540mm X 400mm reinforced concrete ring beams to
carry the load of the external and internal walls, while also allocating a space for
the hollowcore flooring to sit into. The hollowcore flooring will bear half way on
to each beam and be securely strapped back using T12 tie bars bedded in with
the screed. Each structural glulam column will be connected back to a 360mm x
360mm square reinforced concrete column. Each concrete column will vary in
depth as the ground is gradually sloped. The reinforced concrete column will be
structurally supported below by a pad foundation. Each column is to have its
own individual pad foundation where possible.
Ground Floor Build Up – DPM to be placed between hollowcore floor slabs
and ground, 200mm precast concrete hollowcore flooring slabs to be connected
back to the reinforced concrete ring beams, both in accordance with BS EN
1992-1-2:2004. 75mm structural concrete screed to be placed on top of the
hollowcore flooring slabs. 80mm Kingspan Kooltherm K3 Floorboard to be
placed on top of the structural screed, with 80mm x 40mm thimber battens @
600mm c/c to be placed in between. 18mm plywood sheeting to be placed over
the insulation and fixed back to the timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Finally the
floor is to be finished in accordance with the use of each specific room, with
22mm oak flooring to be placed in most areas and a tile finish to be placed in
the kitchen and WC areas.
Intermediate Floor Build Up – On the underside, the floor is to be finished with
a 2.5mm plaster skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is
followed by a 25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in
between 25mm x 75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross
laminated timber panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc
board in place. The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x
40mm layers) cross laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam
beam to another. Above this there is another layer of 50mm rockwool insulation
in between 25mm x 50mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Then sheets of 18mm
plywood finally finished off with a 22mm oak flooring or a tile finish depending
on the use of the room.
Roof Build Up - On the underside, the roof is to be finished with a 2.5mm
plaster skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is followed
by a 25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in between 25mm
x 75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber
panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc board in place.
The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x 40mm layers) cross
laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam beam to another. Above
this a vapour barrier layer is to be added. Followed by 120mm Kingspan
Thermaroof TR31, then a 3G base layer, finished with a triple layer of built up
felt waterproofing.
External Wall Build Up – From Exterior: 8mm external lime render finish, 40mm
wood fibre combined breather membrane board, 12mm timbervent, 400mm
wheat straw bale insulation in between 400mm ‘I’ studs spaced @ 600mm c/c,
15mm OSB, 25mm services cavity in between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber
battens fixed back to the 15mm OSB, finished on the interior side with a layer of
12.5mm gyproc board and 2.5mm plaster skim finish. Each end of the straw
bale panel is closed with a 43mm x 400mm glulaminated column. This system is
from the manufacturer Modcell, it is the Modcell Core + panel. This wall panel
achieves a u-value of 0.11 W/(m2K), a fire rating of 120mins, and an acoustic
performance rating of 52db.
Internal Wall Build Up – 2.5mm plaster finish, 12.5mm gyproc board, 25mm
rockwool insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @
600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to
support and fix the gyproc board to. Followed by 120mm (40mm x 3 layers)
cross laminated timber wall panel in accordance with BS EN 1995-2, BS EN
12354-1 and BS EN 12354-2 in terms of fire and acoustic performance, 25mm
rockwool insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @
600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to
support and fix the gyproc board to. Finished with 12.5mm gyproc board and
2.5mm plaster skim finish.
Concrete Wall Panels – 200mm reinforced precast concrete solid wall panels
to be used in the stairs, stair lobby, lift shaft and protected corridor to provide
structural strength and achieve the required fire rating in accordance with TGD
B. the panels are also relatively soundproof so this will eliminate sound
transmission throughout the building. The internal panels will have a 25mm
service cavity in between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber battens, finished with
12.5mm gyproc board and a 2.5mm plaster skim finish, with the side inside the
lift or stairs shaft having the concrete left exposed. The panels that are exposed
to the outside will have no internal finish (concrete to be left exposed), and an
8mm lime render finish to the external face.

New Extension
Structural Foundations – 540mm X 400mm reinforced concrete ring beams to
carry the load of the external and internal walls, while also allocating a space for
the hollowcore flooring to sit into. The hollowcore flooring will bear half way on
to each beam and be securely strapped back using T12 tie bars bedded in with
the screed. Each structural glulam column will be connected back to a 360mm x
360mm square reinforced concrete column. Each concrete column will vary in
depth as the ground is gradually sloped. The reinforced concrete column will be
structurally supported below by a pad foundation. Each column is to have its
own individual pad foundation where possible.
Ground Floor Build Up – DPM to be placed between hollowcore floor slabs
and ground, 200mm precast concrete hollowcore flooring slabs to be connected
back to the reinforced concrete ring beams, both in accordance with BS EN
1992-1-2:2004. 75mm structural concrete screed to be placed on top of the
hollowcore flooring slabs. 80mm Kingspan Kooltherm K3 Floorboard to be
placed on top of the structural screed, with 80mm x 40mm thimber battens @
600mm c/c to be placed in between. 18mm plywood sheeting to be placed over
the insulation and fixed back to the timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Finally the
floor is to be finished in accordance with the use of each specific room, with
22mm oak flooring to be placed in most areas and a tile finish to be placed in
the kitchen and WC areas.
Intermediate Floor Build Up – On the underside, the floor is to be finished with
a 2.5mm plaster skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is
followed by a 25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in
between 25mm x 75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross
laminated timber panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc
board in place. The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x
40mm layers) cross laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam
beam to another. Above this there is another layer of 50mm rockwool insulation
in between 25mm x 50mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c. Then sheets of 18mm
plywood finally finished off with a 22mm oak flooring or a tile finish depending
on the use of the room.
Roof Build Up - On the underside, the roof is to be finished with a 2.5mm
plaster skim, which is applied directly to 12.5mm gyproc board. This is followed
by a 25mm services gap and then 50mm rockwool insulation, in between 25mm
x 75mm timber battens @ 600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber
panels. These battens are used to support and fix the gyproc board in place.
The main structure of the floor is made up of a 200mm (5 x 40mm layers) cross
laminated timber panels, which spans from one glulam beam to another. Above
this a vapour barrier layer is to be added. Followed by 120mm Kingspan
Thermaroof TR31, then a 3G base layer, finished with a triple layer of built up
felt waterproofing.
External Wall Build Up – From Exterior: 8mm external lime render finish, 40mm
wood fibre combined breather membrane board, 12mm timbervent, 400mm
wheat straw bale insulation in between 400mm ‘I’ studs spaced @ 600mm c/c,
15mm OSB, 25mm services cavity in between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber
battens fixed back to the 15mm OSB, finished on the interior side with a layer of
12.5mm gyproc board and 2.5mm plaster skim finish. Each end of the straw
bale panel is closed with a 43mm x 400mm glulaminated column. This system is
from the manufacturer Modcell, it is the Modcell Core + panel. This wall panel
achieves a u-value of 0.11 W/(m2K), a fire rating of 120mins, and an acoustic
performance rating of 52db.
Internal Wall Build Up – 2.5mm plaster finish, 12.5mm gyproc board, 25mm
rockwool insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @
600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to
support and fix the gyproc board to. Followed by 120mm (40mm x 3 layers)
cross laminated timber wall panel in accordance with BS EN 1995-2, BS EN
12354-1 and BS EN 12354-2 in terms of fire and acoustic performance, 25mm
rockwool insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @
600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to
support and fix the gyproc board to. Finished with 12.5mm gyproc board and
2.5mm plaster skim finish.
Concrete Wall Panels – 200mm reinforced precast concrete solid wall panels
to be used in the stairs, stair lobby, lift shaft and protected corridor to provide
structural strength and achieve the required fire rating in accordance with TGD
B. the panels are also relatively soundproof so this will eliminate sound
transmission throughout the building. The internal panels will have a 25mm
service cavity in between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber battens, finished with
12.5mm gyproc board and a 2.5mm plaster skim finish, with the side inside the
lift or stairs shaft having the concrete left exposed. The panels that are exposed
to the outside will have no internal finish (concrete to be left exposed), and an
8mm lime render finish to the external face.

Internal Wall Build Up – 2.5mm plaster finish, 12.5mm gyproc board, 25mm
rockwool insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @
600mm c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to support
and fix the gyproc board to. Followed by 120mm (40mm x 3 layers) cross
laminated timber wall panel in accordance with BS EN 1995-2, BS EN 12354-1
and BS EN 12354-2 in terms of fire and acoustic performance, 25mm rockwool
insulation in between 25mm x 25mm vertical timber battens spaced @ 600mm
c/c fixed back to the cross laminated timber panel, put in place to support and fix
the gyproc board to. Finished with 12.5mm gyproc board and 2.5mm plaster
skim finish.
Concrete Wall Panels – 200mm reinforced precast concrete solid wall panels to
be used in the stairs, stair lobby, lift shaft and protected corridor to provide
structural strength and achieve the required fire rating in accordance with TGD B.
the panels are also relatively soundproof so this will eliminate sound transmission
throughout the building. The internal panels will have a 25mm service cavity in
between 25mm x 50mm vertical timber battens, finished with 12.5mm gyproc
board and a 2.5mm plaster skim finish, with the side inside the lift or stairs shaft
having the concrete left exposed. The panels that are exposed to the outside will
have no internal finish (concrete to be left exposed), and an 8mm lime render
finish to the external face.

Caution: No water barriers should be added to the wall as lime
render works in conjunction with the breathability of the wall
Timber Cladding
Accoya by Accys Technologies
Accoya wood is made from softwood but has the qualities of
hardwood, produced via a process called acetylation. Acetylation
transforms the free hydroxyls in the wood into acetyl groups,
reducing the wood’s ability to absorb water, making it more
dimensionally stable and more durable.
Manufacturer Accys Technologies
Type of cladding Horizontal and vertical
Wood species Softwood, for example Radiata pine
Treatment Acetylation
Life expectancy 50 years
Maintenance Low frequency due to increased dimensional
stability as coatings do not stretch and shrink
Certification FSC, PEFC certified and cradle-tocradle gold
standard
Recyclability Can be reused or used as a biofuel to produce
heat and power
