My house was built in 1988. The cavity walls are filled with slabs of

Occassionally I get salesmen trying to sell me the sort of injected cavity
wall insulation. They usually claim there is a grant toward it.
I don't like to be pressured - I like to decide if it is a good thing.
Any views?
You may do more harm than good by adding foam insulation to rockwool
slab insulation as there is a danger of bridging the cavity which could
cause damp problems.
In any event you would are unlikely to significantly improve the u-value
enough to justify the cost of filling with foam.
