that's not going to be what this place needs, ie rip out all the

Actually 50mm Celotex does very nicely indeed if you look at the
calcs.
A house insulated with 50mm Celotex on the inside needs only a f@rt
lighting every few hours to keep warm.

I find it really stupid that the houses with any solid walls (not just
entirely solid wall) are not getting internal insulation grants. I
have a suspicion it is so they can be classified as HTH housing and
thus cheap prey someday at the street level for Property Developers. I
guess that "will create new jobs too" as well as socioeconomic
cleansing...
