Hi all
I've just purchased a 1st floor victorian flat. I am looking to install acoustic insulation batts into the floor void as part of my refurbishment, but have noted that the ground floor flat has installed halogen downlights into the celing / floor void. I can see these through the existing floor boards. They are open at the back and have no ceramic covers.
Is this legal? Looks a bit dodgy to me even without the issue of batts as these are old timbers.
Does anyone know if batts can go into the void around a light fitting even with fire resistant fittings?
Hope the 2nd questions isn't off tpoic.
Cheers, Russ
