Not quite diy, but does anyone have a view (positive or negative) on modern cavity wall insulation with foam or granules.
I had a previous house done with insulation foam in the 1970s and I had no problems at all - apart from giving myself a problem later when trying to drop a TV cable between floors via the cavity. The foam insulation reduced my annual heating bill by 25%, and soon paid for itself.
At the time I remember a brief cancer scare in the newspapers about homes treated with this foam - but that ultimately came to nothing.
I had assumed that my current house, built in 1997, would have had the wall cavities filled with insulation slabs at the time of building - but some recent drilling through the exterior walls confirms that I was wrong about that. Maybe the current building regulations for insulation were not in place in 1997.
