insulation options for an older house

femalemonarchfemalecanine · 2022-04-28 12:07:56

My home was built mid 1930s, is two layers of brick but no cavity, and mostly roughcast on the outside. It's detached, but is so close to next door downstairs (about a 3-4 inch gap) that there seems no scope to do anything there. I recently had an extension downstairs on the side, which is obviously much better insulated…

I think it’s mainly condensation. I get it on the windows too. I did have a damp expert in and that was his opinion. So making the walls warmer should help?

Yes. By a huge margin.
