The lower insulation is applied

The brickwork below the damp-proof course has now been insulated with Foamglas and a membrane is being fitted on top to form a barrier between this and the rest of the insulation above.

Repairs have been made to the brickwork, an extra wooden frame has  been added around the window ready for the insulation and the large gaps between the windows and the wall, revealed when the render was removed, have been filled. I presume these gaps are from when the double glazing was fitted around 7 years ago,

 

Here you can see the damp-proof membrane being fitted to separate the two types of insulation - above and below the damp proof course. You can also see repairs have been made to the brickwork.

Here you can see the wooden frame that has been built around the window ready for the insulation.

This shows how the insulation is attached to the bottom of the wall. Note also the filling around the door frame.
