Non Standard Construction

Hi, I’m looking for a company that will give me a mortgage on my property to consolidate loans.
My problem is that the house is of timber construction, timber framed, timber clad, with a cedar shingle roof, built circa 1940.
Santander refused as they’re surveyor said the property was a single skin construction and I have been advised that most high street lenders would say the same thing.
Not sure what I can do about the construction to be honest, maybe remove the cladding and insulate, but it will still be single skin construction?
Any help and advice appreciated, thanks.
