Default Benefits of insulation.

Hello,
We live in an end terrace built around 1900 with a stone outer wall and
brick inner.
I have currently got the kitchen totally gutted, including the ceiling down
and quite a bit of loose plaster missing from walls.
At first I was intending patching up the missing plaster, re-boarding the
ceiling and having the whole lot skimmed.
I have now been wondering if there is any benefit to fitting slab insulation
above the ceiling, or letting the escaping heat warm the bedroom above?
Also, the house has not got cavity wall insulation, is there much
benefit.when comparing energy savings to installation costs, in fitting wall
insulation/plasterboard such as Kingspan K17/K18?
Any advice gratefully recieved,
Thanks,
Tony.
