Just bought a 1964 house which has a large flat roof extension built by the owner in 1980. I've discovered that the walls of both the house and the extension have no insulation (being resolved) and neither does the flat roof. As a result my neighbours (30m away) complain when ever i do anything in the kitchen such as washing the dishes, even at 2pm!
If i take down the plaster board from the roof, fit acoustic foam treatment sound proofing tiles to the top of the chipboard roof then fill the gaps between the josts with Cellotex PIR insulation board (100mm) then complete with sound proofing plasterboard hopefully this should resolve the issue.
Question is do i need any ventaliation? i hope not as the kitchen is freezing. Does anyone have any better alternatives than the plan above?
killing the neighbour is not an option
