Darren,

See my previous post about what loft & cavity wall insulation cost me.

Where are you getting your figures of "=A33K to =A35K" from???
Google for "cavity wall insulation" and on the first page of hits
you'll find loads of info, including this site:
http://www.heatproject.co.uk/
Click on the "Grants" link on the left and you'll see that even
with
the most expensive example, you're still paying only =A3330. (I've no
affiliation with this particular site, just came across it today).

Some other sites estimate that you'll save up to 1/3rd of your heating
bill=
s.

I'd put my money into insulation first, then start worring about the
other stuff :-)

HTH,

Tim.
