"Hi. It certainly is good. But I would insert that wool and top the cavity with heat conductor foam. Simply reinforcing the idea of insulation"

"Personally I wouldn't use cavity wall insulation as it creates a bridge from the outside wall to the inside your better off with a wall coating on the side side wall which works the same"

"yes , its ok you can also use thermal boards there is other ways but best to go with your budget the end result is the same"

"Cavity is there for a reason to allow air flow, I'd be against that, insulate from outside and re roughcast"

"Rockwool insulation is very good in the sense it has a high thermal efficiency, reduces energy bills for heating and cooling in residential buildings.

There is also “Celotex” which will give the best insulation, it’s a little more tricky to install as it needs cutting ect but the 2 products are very good."
