what he said
Welcome to OOF
I was a bit short of time last night so had a cheeky Maccas.Just dropped son and partner at Doncaster airport, decided to grab a Big Mac and large fries on the way back. Big Mac seemed reasonable at £3 odd, but large fries at £1.65 made me jump. Think they were a quid last time I bought them.
If I disappear you'll know that my arteries quickly furred up and I've keeled over!
Insulating between the roof joists is known as "hot roof". seen it on a few builds I have been on in the past and yes, an air gap was left.
Why not consider getting cavity wall insulation done? definatly makes a differance and with the hot roof, you would not need to take up the flooring to reinsulate that. But if you do, use rock wool instead of fibreglass as it is three times as good like for like thickness
Cavities were done about 15 years ago. I'm not convinced they are a good idea in our area though. Lots of reports of problems caused by it bridging the cavity causing damp problems. Saw a map once of areas that were advised not to have it, and we were in it. Something to do with westerly aspects that see the brunt of the prevailing weather.
I met one just like it a few weeks back,
I was getting out of the car when young woman and dog came round corner,
dog was very happy tomeet a new friendsee fresh meat.
Fixed that for you Scimmy!
I cannot understand, given climate change, energy costs etc. why it is not mandatory to fit solar roof tiles to new houses, or could it be that a Conservative Govt. receives financial support from energy companies?
