Wall Boards/Insulation

castle96

Hi,
sitting here inside my 1900 terr, single brick walled house - cold ! Looking at next winter now.... Has anyone any experience of fixing wall insulation...? Have seen some. It has a layer of ? polystyrene or foam, then normal plasterboard.. Only saw one thickness (quite thin). How to fix ? Assume I could scrape the wallpapaer off at various points and use the 'dab it' fixing as for plasterboard ?

Dont really want to go down the battens/insulation between, then platerboard over the lot route.
Rooms are only 12 feet wide. Thinking of doing this front and back, 4 rooms in all.
Any tips/advice/experience would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi castle, am going to do this myself come summer, or maybe pay someone, depending on quote. Just a cupboard in my case, big enough to make into an office and just off the dining room.
The adjacent pantry I shall leave alone,or maybe insulate the door.
I shall strip off the existing plaster and skirting boards including a little way into the meeting walls and use Celotex, plus vapour barrier and then standard plasterboard or depending if I have the room, insulated plasterboard.
