Same here. Both loft and cavity insulation was done early this year. The
loft was an added to, added to insulation and is now about 8 inches, or
more thick.

When the cavity insulation was done and I took a temperature reading of
the outside wall in our kitchen and compared it with an interior one on
the day of the insulation, there was a 9 degree C difference. These
days, even in the cold late winter, my one luxury in life, my half pound
of butter a month, spread easily. In the cold old days I would have to
chip it off the block and place it on the bread :-)

As you say, the comfort level has improved very noticeably.

Fuel consumption will have to be checked after the insulation has been
in place for at least a year.
