    You’d be able to, but you would need to either insulate the interior with PIR, or clad the exterior with PIR insulation.

    Admittedly my property is a 1960’s brick build with wall cavities, but we’re build on the side of a hill with soil retaining walls so we aren’t the most efficient property, though overboarding the walls has made a big difference. There is a lot of improvements people could do even remaining on a gas boiler.

    IMHO, exterior cladding and insulation seems to be the best option for actually making the properties warmer with minimal disruption to living in them, alongside upgrading fibreglass insulation in the loft spaces.

    We have gotten a heat pump installed and it’s doing a good job so far, and that’s without a lot of the main upgrades to the insulation don’t, unfortunately the installers have been a pain in the ass.
