hi, our house dosnt seem to hold the heat, heating bills for a detached 3/4 bed house has been circa £300 for gas only.
the house is 1950 traditional brick / cavity build with air bricks.
the gas heating is monitored via a thermostat which we leave in our 1 year old room set at 17 deg.
the house has a loft conversion which has been insulated behind the partition walls. the area i can really feel the cold is on the second level floor.
would insulation in between the joists just at the side of the property stop draft coming up through the cavity and under the floor?
likewise i've considered cavity wall insulation via the polystyrene ball method, however our next door neighbor had problems with the older cavity wall insulation method with damp managing to seep through.
thoughts welcome
