Hello everyone I live in a 3 bed semidetached house that was built in 2004. I recently got an approval for SEAI better home insulation grant as I am a mother/carer to a special needs child. They have given me 3 options an external wall insulation (that will change the external finish of the house ) an internal drywall insulation ( too much disturbance in the house hold and a messy process) and an external cavity block insulation( which I found is not effective in some cases from other forums)
They told me that a surveyor will visit and explain these options and will recommend an option to us which if I don’t agree I will have a right to differ...
I have no idea about which is the best option... so here I am looking for recommendations and any pros and cons and points to consider while choosing any specific option. I have double glazed windows that I have plans to change in future but don’t have any budget for the job at the moment will that make any difference in the insulation later on? My attic is not insulated at all only a bit of fiber glass foam on the floor.. and I have damp patches and black mold that needs to be cleaned every 2 months around the windows and in the corner of rooms..
thanks in advance
