The 2008 Price Books have been updated to reflect:

• the improved insulation materials needed to satisfy the latest thermal requirements of the Building Regulations 
• the increasing cost of energy leading to many material prices higher than the rate of inflation

In addition, coverage has been extended further to satisfy SEDBUK boiler ratings and Part L of the Building Regulations.
