350mm-600mm.

I think I am seeing your point.

On an older property, the U value of the walls can easily be 2.0.

Yep, my house is 250 years old, so really thick walls, but certainly no
cavity.

There is very little point in reducing the U value for the roof below
0.25 in the context of that.

Is there a way to find out the current heat loss through a wall?

Thanks
