Cavity Wall Installation - anyone had this done? We're in a 1930s hoose with cavity walls. Just not sure how much of a benefit we'll feel or if the scare stories of damp issues are legit. Thanks!

Haven't had it done but there's a lot of cowboys out there. Ideally you want some open cell stuff like icynene to avoid damp issues.

Probably also want to make sure it's assessed afterwards to make sure the stuff has gone in evenly - with a thermal camera for example.

Thats my fear - the cowboys! We have a company called Locohome coming out in the new year, who are a retrofit assessor that my wife knows. Hoping we can get some legit contacts from them. It seems to be a pre-requisite for getting any kind of grant for ASHP from what I understand.
