Case Study
St John’s Upper Holloway Insulation of the church hall roof
| Church | St John’s Upper Holloway, St John’s Grove, London, N19 5SS |
| Cloudesley grant | SCBP grant June 2024: £10,000 |
| Total cost | £12,288 |
| Background | The grant supported the insulation of St John’s church hall roof. They installed Ty-Mawr Thermafleece Cosy Wool insulation which has a breathable membrane and a low thermal conductivity of 0.039W/m.K. Whilst it is too early to tell if the insulation has reduced carbon emissions, it is already clear that it has made the space retain its heat much better, with the Junior Church reporting that they don’t have to have the heaters on for so long. |
| Contractors used | Bakers of Danbury |
| Impact of the SCBP/Inspired Efficiency | St John’s felt that the Sustainable Church Buildings Project has been very helpful, explaining the benefits of insulating the roof. As works were already being conducted on the roof, it reduced the need to remove the roof again in the future. |
