ok thanks. Well I'm waiting for a surveyor to come around for Loft and Cavity under a grant, £200 for each. Been told that I need to sort Cavity first to help warm up the walls and therefore help hold heat in and reduce condensation. Would this be correct? I think I'll hold off on the central heatin...

Sorry to jump onto this. Do you therefore not recommend boarding a loft after fixing insulation?

I got a very good deal and should hopefully have them fitted beginning of January. This will give us chance to try them out while it's still cold and then maybe get prepared for ...

ok thank you. I've already had one company trying to scam me which I guess I better not mention. I understand about the hot air inside hitting cold out, but this isn't the case with our place. The rooms are cold, especially the 2 bedrooms which have no heat in them at all. This is what's confusing me

Condensation

Can someone help or advise me please. I've just moved into a new 2 bed upstairs level of a maisonette. The building is only 13 years old but has wooden windows and no central heating. The only source of heating was in the living room from a balanced flue gas fire which we've now replaced with an ele...
