Hi Guys

My first post!! After extensive research on the web I am close to
tearing my hair out. I was hoping you could advise me. I live in a
1950's semi with double glazing - wooden floors, cavity wall (not sure
if insulated) and the loft space is not insulated.

12 inches of loft insulation could save around 20 to 30% on heating
bills - or equivalent of adding 20 to 30% more heating. This is probably
the most cost effective first step.

There are grants available to help with the cost of this if you have
no insulation at all but the grant does seem to slow the whole process
down a lot. I applied for my grant in May and the insulation is
finally being installed next Monday. Judging by my experience, you
might find it cheaper to put in the insulation yourself and save on
this winter's heating bills
