We live in an end terrace, it had a simple loft conversion about ten years ago. In the loft space - mainly used for storage - the gable end is only single brick thickness (below this floor level is it is double thickness with a supporting buttress wall which looks like it was added sometime later).
In the loft I'd like to improve the insulation on the gable wall, probably by framing it out then using Celotex/Kingspan or wool type material. The finished wall doesn't need to be plastered.
The existing gable wall has had some internal effloresence since we've been here (~20 years), although the external surface doesn't suffer the same way.
What's the best way to approach this without causing damp problems?
Cheers.
