Hi All.
been trying to figure out why our upstairs rooms don't get up to the same temp as down stairs and think I may have stumbled onto where the heat is being lost.
So this is the amount of insulation we have in the loft between the joists.. some places its flatten down others are not to bad but only looks like its 60-70mm in places and 100 in others..
would it be best to rip this lot out? some of it has gone black where some egit decided to pack it in the eves blocking all airflow causing condensation which i sorted out last year.
Not sure whether to start a fresh or just use whats there and overlay with some 170mm on top.. I have a floored storage area also so I am guessing rip that up and raise the floor height with some legs and floor back down?
and recommendations on good insulation that's not overly expensive?
also would it be an idea to use the foil quilt and cover over the roof trusts? i did this recently with my conservatory so have some left over.
