Hello all,

My ongoing saga of condensation. By now I think everyone knows about the
dripping walls in the kitchen in winter. The walls are dry now because its
heated up and stopped raining a bit and I use the de humidifier as an
extractor fan substitute.

Someone suggested cavity wall insulation might solve this.

To cut a long story short, I the local council sent someone round who is now
arranging for cavity wall insulation ( the bead stuff) and for 10" of
insulation in the roof.

However, now OH is saying it is a waste of time and will likely cause more
problems. I have googled it one site says one thing, another entirely the
opposite.

So, in short,opinions please - should I get this or not ( btw, it seems I
can have this FOC despite the fact they stopped grants because it seems
there is still funding for homes like mine which suffer from what they call
locally " the Cornish problem" - wind, wet, rain, cold SW, old house and no
insulation since 1950's)

I have a 1950's detached bungalow in a rural village. Electric only (no
mains gas or drains either).

Any help deciding on this would be helpful.

Thanks.
