Best insulation to complete a partially insulated loft (with some awkward areas) - pictures included
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.28 PM
Hi. I'm looking to complete the insulation in the loft of the house I've just bought. One of the previous owners has done what I would describe as a "partial" loft conversion. The loft is split, with around half of it boarded with plastered walls, etc. There seems to be insulation under the floor, and behind the walls from what I can tell. The other half is separated by a wall/door (not draught proofed). However, this area is only partially boarded. There does appear to be insulation under the boarded areas. There's a good sized area in the corner isn't insulated. Also, where they have made walls in the main area - the insulation stops there. Meaning there's another gap without insulation on around the edge - this area is also very small/awkward, so I don't think I could fully get to it. You can see some pictures here - https://photos.app.goo.gl/4xyLytMJzpvMMFzz5 The mess/rubble in the pictures seems to be what was left behind when the roof was replaced a few years back. What kind of insulation would be best to complete what's been done already - that is if that's the best approach? I'm mainly concerned about the edge area (behind the walls) which will be hard to reach. Thanks in advance.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
