100mm Kingspan insulation board on ground floor, above water barrier and below floor screed. Ps look at installing underfloor heating at this time (shop around for your best quote) 100-150mm insulated plasterboard on basement walls. (Inside of water barrier, batten out wall to allow for electrical conduit and water pipes then fix plasterboard onto studs/battons) 50mm plasterboard on all Ceilings If the above ground level has a cavity then your brick layers can fit 50mm poly board insulation as they build or blown in Insulation after walls are up. Also 150 poly board between rafters is a definite! (Make sure to vent or have an airflow gap that is vented. Regards Andrew Smyth

Firstly a basement conversion . Should have high density polystyrene boards or rigid mineral wool boards.. The above ground extension should have 75mm PIR boards in the cavity walls . Then a warm deck roof to achieve the highest UValue
