Sanctus Builders handles the insulation work most Christchurch homeowners ask for in older housing stock, along with the flooring, tiling and interior upgrades that usually go with it. Felipe assesses the home, explains what's actually causing a cold room or a tired-looking interior, and gives a straight price for fixing it.
This service covers two connected but different kinds of work.
Insulation installation, acoustic insulation, draught-proofing, and thermal upgrades, the work that changes how a home actually feels to live in.
Flooring, tiling, painting and decorating, feature walls, cabinetry installation, splashbacks, shelving and storage, and accessibility and home safety improvements.
Cold floors, even with the heating on.
Condensation building up on the inside of windows overnight.
A noticeably colder room at one end of the house than the other.
Heating bills that feel high for the size of the home.
Any one of these usually points to missing or failed insulation, most common in Christchurch homes built before insulation was standard. Sanctus Builders checks the roof cavity and underfloor space directly rather than guessing from the symptoms alone.
Once a floor or wall is opened up for insulation or draught-proofing, it's often the practical time to deal with tired flooring, dated tiling, or a room that needs repainting anyway. Sanctus Builders can scope insulation and the interior finish work together in one quote, rather than treating them as two separate jobs that both disturb the same space.
Here's what happens on an insulation or interior upgrade job with Sanctus Builders.
Felipe checks the roof cavity, underfloor space, or the room itself.
Insulation type and R-value, or flooring, tile and paint options, chosen for the room and budget.
Insulation, flooring, tiling and cabinetry fitted to a proper finish standard.
A walkthrough to confirm the work is done properly.
Sanctus Builders doesn't publish fixed insulation or flooring prices, because the real variables change the number too much for a price list to mean anything. These are the things that actually affect cost:
| Factor | What It Affects |
|---|---|
| Size of the area | Being insulated, floored or finished. |
| Current condition | Whether there's existing insulation to remove or a floor that needs levelling first. |
| Material choice | Insulation R-value, flooring type, or tile and paint grade. |
| Access | Roof cavities and underfloor spaces vary a lot in how easy they are to work in. |
| Combined work | Whether insulation and interior finish work are being done together in one job. |
Every insulation or interior upgrade job gets a free, honest quote after Felipe has actually assessed the space, not a number pulled off a price list.
