Hello,
I'm a landlord of an old end of terrace property. The loft was converted into a living space in the 1970s but has stud walls set back in to the room that hide the eaves of the roof.
There is no loft insulation behind these stud walls and we've been having problems with cold bridging on the bathroom ceiling directly below. To cut a long story short, we've installed some Kingspan Therma 70mm insulation in between the joists above the bathroom ceiling (the part that is behind the stud wall in the loft).
There are three electrical cables that are loose in this part of the loft and we've installed the Kingspan underneath these. I'm not sure what the cables are but one could be for the electric shower.
My question is - are the cables ok resting on the top of the Kingspan? Are they allowed to go past the edge of the Kingspan where they go down into the rooms below?
I have photos if they might help.
Thanks in advance
