External Insulation / Doors / Windows recommendation

Hi,

We are looking to upgrade our doors and windows this year in a 3 bed semi detached house plus add external insulation during this process.

Would appreciate any recommendations via PM for companies who provide this service ?

Many thanks

Beware. Whoever you choose, make sure that they quote you to insulate down to the footings and also up past the soffit to meet your attic insulation. Avoid any tradesman chancer who won't.

also get the windows hung on the outside of the outer leaf, for thermal bridging ease

Was on site y/day with an EWI contractor and the suggestion was, for the window reveals was just to cut the ewi flush with the reveal and then cover the reveal and the edge of the EWI with cement board
