I live in a tiny stone and slate cottage, and currently have no loft insulation. The loft floor has been boarded over with tongue and groove, bonded to the plaster board ceilings below. Removing the flooring would destroy the ceiling, which has old oak beams.
The old insulation was removed to treat the floor for woodworm, and as I have been heating the cottage with a stove, I haven't worried about replacing it as there are no savings to be made. However, I am about to replace the stove with electric heating, and so need to think again about loft insulation. Is it just a matter of rolling out 270mm on top of the boards, or is it more complicated than that?
