Hello,
I've got one of those standard 2 bed ex-council houses, and whereas all of downstairs is drylined and warms up really quickly, upstairs is absolutely freezing (not lined). I've got tons of insulation in the attic, so that's more than well insulated. The front bedroom is really really cold (the backroom has the boiler and hotpress, so gets warm enough). I can't really put up drylining, unless I rip out the inbuilt wardrobe, so that would be a lot of hassle. I've been wondering about cavity wall insulation - and excuse my extremely stupid question, but can this be done with every house? I wouldn't even know if there is a cavity in the walls.... My house is end of terrace, so exposed on 3 sides. The bathroom is freezing, too, so would really like to do something about it. I've got double-glazed windows, although they are old and I am very much thinking of replacing them soon enough, too...
Any suggestions?
Many thanks...
