Is this dry rot, what can I do?

Sorry why is it so important to insulate a single internal wall between bedroom and bathroom, warmth or sound? I am really new to all this. What would you insulate it with if you did

Oh, I was on about the outside wall, sorry.

Ah, so how would you go about insulating the outside wall? Its brickwork and and I don't know how it would work with the window, as there isn't space to bring the wall in further. Would it actually make much of a difference insulating such a tiny external wall to outside?

I don't know how it would work with the window

Whatever thickness you add to the wall would just mean deeper window reveals.

Yes. Heat loss aside, it would reduce the potential for condensation on that wall massively.

Ok, any advice on how I'd build out the reveal? And what thickness insulation you would use

OP,
I wont go on but i wish you luck. There are so many glaring difficulties in your bathroom, and some of the thread advice appears odd to me.

Whats an important safety issue is the boiler - either have it removed (best option) - or get it certified by a GasSafe.

Batten the walls and fix insulation then boards. The reveals can be dabbed. Fix a window board or tile the sill.

I appreciate the advice, as I'm new to this.

What advice do you think is odd?

What's the safety issue with the boiler? It was boxed in before and I will box it in again. Is there an issue?

The only real problem I can see is the window, but even that I think just needs some replacement bricks and mortar.

Any advice is very welcome
