Hi,
We moved into a new mid terrace 1900's house just before xmas. Its on 4 floors and I don't believe has adequate insulation in the attic room/dormer/walls.
Our gas bill for that first month was huge - 200 quid. Obviously it was xmas we were home a lot and it snowed a lot, however thats a lot to take on the chin every winter.
So wondering what the best options are for insulation pls?
1) Obviously haivng insulation fitted in the attic room would be great, but the extension we are told was added soon after the house was built and directly above the attic are the tiles (i.e. no space to crawl into).
2) Cavity wall insulation - is it worth it? or adviseable in a house such as this? Read lots of horror stories about damp online.
Any advice please?
Thanks
