We're doing a major renovation to our home and it's an opportunity to install an entirely new heating system, insulation, windows, solar panels - the lot.


I'm baffled by ground source heat pumps v gas v how insulated you can ever get a semi detached Victorian house with 1885 bricks as exterior walls?!


Solar panels v how much roof space we'll have v how long we'll be staying at the property?? Interior wall insulation v 'cold' walls and 'warm' walls in the same room v condensation and black mould??


Feels like I could do with someone who really knows their stuff, knows current tariffs, subsidies etc and can give us a route map. Are there people that visit your property and advise?


Seems so counterintuitive fitting a gad boiler these days. Or maybe not?


Thx for any useful info.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
