Good morning! I'm wondering about getting cavity wall insulation and I don't know if my house will be suitable so if anyone can point me in the right direction....
The house was built around 1975 by my local council using a pre-fab design. Sometime in the 1980s the council built brick walls around the pre-fab shell to combat damp problems with the pre-fab and everything was sorted - so i should have a cavity between the pre-fab exterior wall and the brick wall interior (I think that's what I saw when I was putting my outdoor tap on!). Would it be possible to fill this gap with insulation as I've never heard of a two-walled house before! Also, as I'm in Scotland and everything in sight in pebble-dashed, how would they get the insulation in - would the drill holes in the render or go in by the side of the windows where it is un-rendered?
Thank you in advance, David
