    Can anyone tell me if there is a minimum requirement of insulation expected when drylining external walls.

    My house is about 12 years old - semi-detatched in an estate and have discovered that there was no insulation between the solid 9" block wall and the plasterboard.

    sei grant scheme is recommending a u value of 0.27...

    basiclaly that about 100mm of a quilted insulation...

    cheers for that - what is wrong with the foam insulation?
    Is there a minimum standard that they should have adhered to?
