Many seasonal workers moved in from the capital for the harvest, with reports of around a quarter of a million Londoners travelling to Kent for the season by the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>Huts averaged around 80 sq ft, with some as \u2018large&#8217; as 200 sq ft.<\/p>\n<p>While early hoppers&#8217; huts were made of timber, latterly clad with corrugated iron, they began to be made with bricks after the 1850 abolition of the brick tax.<\/p>\n<p>Exterior, single-skin walls were 9 inches thick, but by the 1930s and 1940s some were built of 18-inch by 9-inch breeze blocks or pre-cast concrete.<\/p>\n<p>The limewashed huts generally had an earth floor and were lit by candles or paraffin lamps. Water was supplied via a standpipe, and hop pickers shared a toilet block with an earth closet and a communal cookhouse.<\/p>\n<p>This is a far cry from the experience of the new residents of the revamped piece of agricultural heritage. They will enjoy their own private bathroom and a kitchen with all mod cons.<\/p>\n<h3>TW Projects have used Actis Hybrid products on earlier projects<\/h3>\n<p>Brian and his team, who have used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/actis-hybrid-efficiency-keeps-homeowner-warm-following-heat-pump-failure\/137392\/\">Actis Hybrid products<\/a> on earlier projects and found them particularly impressive, installed two layers of honeycomb 105mm insulation Actis Hybris in the roof.<\/p>\n<p>They used insulating breather membrane Actis Boost R Hybrid, 140mm Hybris and 50mm of PIR in the walls of the timber frame extension and the stud walls created within the original structure.<\/p>\n<p>Brian explained: &#8220;We&#8217;ve been using Actis Hybrid products for years because they&#8217;re so quick, clean and easy to use &#8211; and are thermally brilliant. In fact, for a bit of fun I had a race with one of my fitters using PIR and Actis, and the Actis won, hands down. We were all impressed with the quickness and ease of fitment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Actis Eolis HC was launched last year<\/h3>\n<p>The launch last year of a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insulation-actis.com\/eolis-hc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Actis product &#8211; Eolis HC<\/a> &#8211; a two-in-one reflective insulation with an integrated vapour barrier which is particularly effective for shallow rafter scenarios &#8211; has whetted Brian&#8217;s appetite to carry out another speed competition with his colleagues on future projects.<\/p>\n<p>He may want to prove to himself that time trials showing that installing Eolis HC is at least twice as quick as using PIR board are indeed correct!<\/p>\n<div
