Best Way Forward

Hello all. Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this.

Background:

My house is a 1910 to 20's solid brick detached property. The wall in question was dot and dabbed with standard plaster board and since we moved in the wall became damp due to bridging.

I removed the plasterboard yesterday to reveal this.

The wall is West Sea facing so is wet and cold. The chimney stack is removed and the breast is thin and redundant. It is open in the attic and has not been filled.

Can I have advice on how to insulate the wall before re plastering. Is there anything I should definitely not do?

Many thanks.

You are more likely to get help if you post in the appropriate section. The Moderators can move this for you.

Can you waterproof the gable end? If not I would advise a tanking membrane.

Click "report button" bottom l.h. corner and ask for it to be moved to building

I am having the Gable end 'properly' treated and painted with Sandtex.

Buy breathable ext paint. Make sure no water ingress at all before painting...

Also few different ways to insulate a solid wall. Needs to be done right. Look on youtube. Some good info there.

'Charlie DIYte' is a good one as he has done this work.
