- loads of people are doing it under Gov. initiatives . If you want to put your £ into BG , feel free- help them out they need the cash . I think it`s a great idea , but there are loads of horror stories floating around the web about how bad it is - and plenty of naysayers on this site too. One thing I would recommend is , If your house has suspended wooden floors on ground floor - check the air vents after the installers have gone from inside by lifting a floorboard . Other than that it`s greatThat price for cavity wall is extraordinarily good value for money. Seeing as you can/could get 'buy one get three free' loft insulation from Wickes a couple of weeks ago their £199 loft insulation isn't so good value. IMO. So DIY it and spend a few quid on a mask and gloves.
In my experience (homeowner only), putting cavity wall insulation in will change your house significantly for the better. Significantly! Seeing it's pretty irreversible I read around before having it done and it seemed to me that the negative reports (some guy who writes for the Telegraph seems to be the biggest worrier) are very anecdotal. I would imagine it is far more dependant on whether the guy who comes round with the big drill does the job properly and far less dependant on the product itself. I also imagine some houses were built shoddily in the first place which might cause problems, this should be caught by the survey, fat chance I guess, but again a problem with the installer and not the cavity wall product itself.
