Hi
I live in a 1960's built house with a cavity wall. I was thinking about having cavity wall insulation until I spoke with some building surveyors who did not recommend having it done as the point of the cavity especially in westerly areas which is where I am (Swansea, Wales) was to help reduce moisture.
Looking at the map http://www.which.co.uk/energy/savin...ulation/cavity-wall-insulation-damp-problems/ I think I am classed in zone 4 and also reading this article from a Daily Telegraph writer http://www.askjeff.co.uk/cavity.html
So instead of having the cavity filled would external wall insulation be a better option?
