Currently renovating an unlisted 18th century cottage with solid stone walls. No major damp issues apart from one 1st floor gable wall due to previous chimney ingress (we are taking off the plaster and letting the wall dry out).
Ultimately the builder has suggested lining all the external walls with insulating board to make the house warmer. He says there will be a gap and the walls will be able to breathe. He has an excellent reputation locally but I'm not sure. Are there any pitfalls?
