Default Converted Garage as Office - it's very cold in here

ok..one of the reasons I moved to my current address was the double garage
which had been converted - this has become my office.

Summer - great - Winter - I am freezing my proverbials off.

I have insulated the loft area - but - the real problem (I believe) was the
conversion was never done properly in the first place.

OK it looks nice but the walling (stud walling??) attached to the garage
brick work is just that - i do not think there is any inuslation between the
wall and the brick work - hence the massive loss of heat.

Is it a massive job to pull the wall (stud?) of the brick work - rebaton -
stuff with insulation material and the put the wall back again - amateur at
work mind you.

OR..

any other suggestions to keep the heat in this garage conversion???? (I'm
sitting here with a woolly hat on and several layers..great my office)

Thanks for any suggestions
