Our house has never been warm. I know it has cavity wall insulation as I've come across it while drilling holes and having a wood burner installed a few years back. But how good is what we have I just don't know. There could be voids around the house, I simply don't know. And what is in the wall was probably installed around 30 years ago when the house was converted and extended.

With all this in mind is it worth getting someone in, and if so what should I be doing to not get ripped off, because Im pretty sure whoever I get in will say the same thing (remove and replace) without caring too mich if it will make a noticeable difference.
 
Get someone in with a thermal camera to do a survey of your building. They'll be able to tell you where heat is being lost
