Ah, fair enough. We're spending a fortune insulating as much of the original house as possible, but a big part of me has a sinking feeling we're pissing in the wind...
I reckon your insulated suspended floor will make a massive difference, especially to airtightness.
ectoplasmosis-
Downstairs feels really different. Hard to explain, but it feels more still, and muffled. You can definitely sense the insulation under the floor. I think it should be much more comfortable. The thermostat is showing higher indoor temperatures but it's really hard to compare like for like with weather changing.

No. They're not insulated anywhere at all so the whole wall is a cold bridge. The windows will be the only insulated part. Got to love Victorian houses. The downstairs extension is ludicrously well insulated - you can almost feel the bulk of it when you're in there, it sort of deadens sound too. But the rest of the house leaks heat terribly.
