Hard to believe that anyone would do this!
If it was built to such a low spec there are probably other issues with it such as the footings and DPC etc. If it has a flat roof I am guessing there would be no insulation in that either! It must have been built without planning and building regs approval as they would not have got away with it otherwise. Only exception to this would be if it was built as a none habitable space ie as a store room or similar and then they broke through and made it part of the house. Aside from the difficulty and expense, of heating i,t they will have horrendous problems with condensation/damp. Therefore, as the previous poster said, it will need gutting and a new internal skin constructing with the relevant insulation. |
