The glass units are from Eurocell and made a big difference. I've also over time torn out every internal wall in my house and rebuilt them with insulation as per modern methods, the gable end was rebuilt in 2002 the same way and so, although the house is 96 years old it's very good at retaining heat now.

Were those solid walls you removed? If the rooms were big enough, would it have been quicker, easier and cheaper to attach battens to the solid walls with 2 inch celotex in between the battens and then board over the top? I think a neighbour has done something like this, I'm tempted on the outside walls to do it but I like brick walls for screwing into.
