Anyone have any experience with external wall insulation? We are in a 1930s mid terrace with solid walls with no cavities.

I suspect it’s not “worth” the money in terms of bill savings, but maybe the comfort is worth more than cash terms. Partner is concerned about potentially introducing damp issues.

I struggled to find anyone that would do it, and the prices were a bit bonkers.

The expectation with external insulation is, is I understand it, that the condensation envelope actually ends up outside the brickwork, so damp is less likely (certainly moreso than if insulating internally).
