I noticed in the bedroom dormer in my house that the wall under the window is very cold. I decided to open up a small hole in the plasterboard to check it out. Turns out there was a hole to the outside and a bird had made a nest in the wall.
Once I fix that, I want to insulate the wall, so i opened the whole a bit bigger just so I could get an idea of the type of wall I was dealing with, and it's not what I was expecting, basically from the floor to halfway up the wall it's a brick cavity wall. On top of the brick cavity wall from the halfway point to under the window is a wood frame.
I'm not sure the best way forward, should I:
Fill the wooden frame with insulation but leave the brick with non and then put plasterboard back up
Or
Get plasterboard that has insulation attached and then fix it t the wall with screws for the wooden frame half and glue/dot and dash for the brick half?
