Hi,
We have own a 1930's house for about 2 years and we are finally looking to move some of our excess stuff into the loft space to free up the space in our spare room.
There has been some kind of loft boarding done prior to us buying the house but I am unconvinced about how well it has been done.
It seems like the loft boards are directly screwed into the joists, with some kind of loose fill insulation, then to top it off there is a polystyrene wedges in the eves.
What is the standard practice for boarding and insulating a loft?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Mandy
