    Im sure you are joking however, Im not a fan of partial fill cavity insulation myself. If its not fitted tight (as in equivalent of being sprayed to wall surface) I feel a large amount of its usefulness is being lost.
    If you have drafts in the cavity and any air is moving at the warm side of the insulation, this is surely limiting its usefulness.

    You must be in Government, or were you working for the financial regulator in the past?
