Barnes

Barnes is a district within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is within the north east of the borough and is positioned 5.8 miles west south west of Charing Cross.

Barnes has plenty of 18th and 1800s buildings in the streets near Barnes Pond, which make up Barnes Village conservation area where the majority of the mid-19th century buildings are situated. On the east riverside, there's the WWT London Wetland Centre which adjoins numerous fields for three principal national team sports.

The town had been part of Surrey, and it appears inside the Domesday book as ‘Berne’. Barnes’ village church was built between 1100 and 1150 and named the Chapel of St Mary’s. It was extended in the early thirteenth century, and was added to once more in 1786. A huge fire destroyed components of the extensions to the chapel in 1978, so restoration work was performed in 1984.

Barnes features a lot of sporting history spanning decades. In football, a High Master of St Paul’s School, Richard Mulcaster, is recognised with turning mob football into a refereed team sport. The school sits on Lonsdale Road, but at the time of Mulcaster it was located in St Paul’s Cathedral. The town has a non-league football club named Stonewall FC, who play at Barn Elms Playing Fields.

Barnes Rugby Club is assumed to be the oldest club in the world in any football code. They play next to the WWT London Wetlands Centre. The town is also known for rowing; the loop of the Thames surrounding Barnes is part of the Championship Course used for the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.

FAQs

Which type of insulation is best?

The best type of insulation for your property will depend on the type of walls and any insulation that’s already present. It’s usually a good idea to have some form of wall insulation as well as loft insulation, as this helps to prevent heat loss in both areas.

how thick should loft insulation be?

Over the years there has been an increase in the recommended thickness of loft insulation by the government. Obviously, the reason behind this is pretty simply - the thicker the layer of your loft insulation the bigger your savings. The UK government is very keen to every house in the country to have loft insulation fitted where possible as it helps to minimize the heating demands of these properties. Households get to benefit from loft insulation in so many ways which includes reduced energy energy bills as well as having a home that stays at a more comfortable temperature for longer.

 

Generally, for the government energy efficiency is crucial as it implies that the highest demand ( which is usually the time of the day when gas or electricity use is at its peak ) reduces, since each building requires slightly less energy. Overall, that ultimately implies that new power plants don’t have to be built which is some nice cost savings for the government.

 

In the 1980’s, any thickness of loft insulation from 25 mm to 50 mm was considered the standard. But then, building regulations stated that homes should have as much as 100 mm of loft insulation. Over time, this gradually increased to 270mm for new builds and also recommended for other properties, although not essential. As a result of this, there’s always a need to check how much insulation you currently have in your loft before you decide to purchase more. You may discover that you already have something within the range of 20 mm to 200 mm up there and knowing this and the insulation values will assist in determining how much more you’ll need to purchase, if any at all. You should also note that some modern materials can offer the same thermal insulation whilst not being as thick.
