Question: I have a late Victorian mid terrace property, with, I understand a narrow cavity wall, circa 1 inch, it cavity wall insulation possible or advisable?
I would recommend getting a surveyor out to drill a few holes in your property and fully find out how big your cavitys are. Some old Victorian property’s can have bigger and smaller cavity’s on different walls.
I believe the best you could fill with is polystyrene beads and not the common mineral wool as this is less likely to cause damp issues in older property’s.
Hi Katy, I would be pretty certain you won’t have a cavity, if it’s a Victorian era it would be build brick bond if you look at the exterior you would see half bricks thats a full brick bridging the external and internal skin, I would say the best option for you is to dab 27mm insulated plaster boards to the interior and replaster giving you a warmer room to contain the heat and nicely flush clean walls,
