A resident of Fletcher Street comments: “Really pleased. I’ve noticed a real difference in how much I have to put the heating on. Before the insulation was fitted, my bedroom used to be very cold on the gable end, and now, it needs no extra heat from my electric heaters. I’m also very pleased with how everything looks; it’s made a huge difference.”
