With Green Government grants now available in England I imagine a few posters are looking at the possibility of Cavity Wall insulation for exisiting walls.
Businesses in the industry will give all the benefits, but are there any drawbacks with cavity wall insulation?
I have heard installing cavity wall insulation into houses that are not designed for it, say pre 1990, can more easily develop damp, because there is no space left in cavity of the walls for the walls to breath.
Can anyone provide any expertise/experience with installing cavity wall insulation into houses built in the 1960s/70s. Preferable some who does not have a vested interest.
Many thanks.
