what material did you use for insulation? I've been reading loads recently about how insulation a victorian/edwardian solid wall home is great but that it can decrease the building's ability to breathe, which brings moisture problems.
Some insulation materials are better than others for avoiding this. Just something to be aware of.

I really really wish we’d done this. Particularly in the kitchen.

How is it hung? Happy with the installer? Also SE based and might have to do it fairly soon so recommendations would really help

Insulating the floor turn out to be the best (and insanely expensive) thing we’ve done.
We got the floorboard ripped out to put insulating that’s hung on the suspended timber, which took 4 days (2x room) and over 2 grand to do.
Last night we turn the heating on, and turn it off after 10pm before went to bed, the next morning, the room is no longer freezing.
It’s a weird feeling being in an late Victorian house that doesn’t feel like a gigantic walk-in freezer in winter.
