Hello all, new to all this as I have just moved into a new (for me) house. I
am considering getting cavity wall insulation installed but have found out
that the inside of the external walls of my 1992 built house are made from
insulated plasterboard similar to this stuff

stuck on the walls, then the cavity, then the external wall.

So given that the walls are already insulated will filling the cavity make
much difference?

Thanks Tracy

Additional insulation in the cavity will reduce heat loss. A firm local to
you will probably be able to advise you on the phone regarding suitability,
otherwise they can do a free survey which they have to do anyway to check
that the property is suitable and to work out the cost less grants.

If the cavity is uninsulated, filling it will make a difference, but
the savings will not be as much as on an uninsulated wall. Is the
cavity not already insulation filled?
