Conservatory dwarf wall - cavity insulation?   
Hi

After installing a couple of new sockets inside my conservatory
cavities, I noticed that there is no insulation inside the cavity.

Since it's only a dwarf wall, would anyone recommend asking a local
insulation company to install cavity wall insulation inside the wall?

Thanks

Is it vented properly?  Do you have air-bricks or vent-grilles on the
outside?

This is only the dwarf wall of an added conservatory, so it doesn't really
need heavily insulated like a main building wall does.  If it is vented to
allow any moisture to breath away easily, and it has a good foundation, and
it does have a proper damp proof course set in it, then that's really all it
needs.  The warmth inside a mainly glass conservatory is usually all that's
needed.
