Was wondering if anyone has had this done?

I seem to be losing heat through my walls and they are cold to the touch, so have thought have this.

What do people think?

Yep, got it done (and the loft) a couple of years back. Heat used to vanish as soon as the heating went off. Now, not so.

Do a bit of homework and find out who is offering the best deal/grant. Should pay back in a few years and keep you warmer in the meantime.

Yeah get it done mate - your throwing cash away by not having it, yeah it'll cost a few quid now but think about the "long haul" it'll save you a lot over the years.....just don't move house 8-)

Some info gleaned when doing own research last year that may be of help:

house age: building regulations mean that houses built between 1930 and 1976 have cavity walls;
(unfort, mine's 1923 so no gap); anything after 1976 should already have wall insulation

subsidy: energy supplier and council may contribute to cost; example blurb from British Gas (BG):
householder investing in home insulation from BG may receive rebate of £125 from local authority;
BG customer installation price = £225 for cavity and £249 for full loft insulation;
BG projected energy bill savings = £110 a year with cavity wall and £145 with loft insulation.

I read somewhere that only houses built in last 10 years have cavity wall filling.

You are being serious?

I thought it was a gag, like those very strange TV adverts :shock:

I live in a small block of flats and we have recently had our cavity walls filled with the help of a grant, we had to pay £175 each on top.

It was sold to us by someone saying that we would notice this difference in cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Personally I haven't noticed anything though. Will reserve full judgement for when the cold months come along.

Is a good idea, if you need it.........

I have always bought older properties, cold in summer, and warm in winter :wink:
