    Hi All

    We just had a quote for insulating our house walls and Attic

    2K all told, no bad I thought with the grants

    He said we don't have Cavity walls but Breeze Blocks

    He said he could still do it

    Now...I don't believe you can insulate Breeze Blocks like you can cavity

    Am I correct and is he pulling a fast one

    Cheers
