We are about to start work on renovating our kitchen.

On outside walls strip off plaster and install foam insulation against
the brick. Kingspan and Celotex do this with some refinished plaster.
Some can be plastered direct. At least put foam insulation behind the
worktops and wall units as it is hidden there and the area behind is
quite large. It all adds up. The heat loss will be greatly reduced and
fuel bills will drop. It is easy to do at this stage and well worth
doing as the comfort conditions and fuel reduction is substantial. It
is foolish not to really.


....or, make use of the heat loss. Insulate a cupboard walls and door instead,
and leave the back of the cupboard open to the bare external wall. Instant cool
cupboard for your veg in Winter!

Well, it's worth a try.
