I have a first floor bedroom the front wall of which is linked to a porch roof. There is a void under the bedroom floor running out into the porch roof. Consequently the room is difficult to heat as cold air from the porch roof area comes thru the void under the bedroom floor. What should I use...

My lounge is floored. There are gaps in the floorboards, and draughts come through. I'm planning to colour twine and seal the gaps with this, which should improve things. However, I'd also like to insulate under the floor, as I did in my current house, and it was very effective. Trouble is I...

Evening All. I've got a 1920's house with very cold floor in the living room (in winter). There is about a 30" crawl space below the floor and it's properly vented through air bricks. I was planning on getting under the floor and sticking some insulation between the joists. Has any one done...

Hi would I need these if the floor already has insulation under the concrete?

Hi, my ground floor wooden floor is quite cold. Underneath there is vented crawling space and I have access from a small window. I am thinking to add rock wool insulation under the floor between the joists. How thick should be the insulation? Except from chicken wire, any other ways to support...

Thinking about putting Celotex or similar under my bedroom/en-suite floor. The room is over an unheated garage. In the bedroom there is only one rad to worry about, so that's not a problem. But I'm thinking about all the water and waste pipes and the shower trap in the en-suite. This trap is...

Hi, I'm new to this so please bear with me..... I'm laying a solid oak floor in my lounge, and want to put some sound insulation under it to prevent passage of sound as much as possible through to the floor beneath. I already have Rockwool in the void between the floors, and was wondering if I...

Does anyone have any advice on insulation suitable for traditional wooden floors in old properties? What I was planning to do was go under the floor & put insulation between the joists. So far so good? The issue seems to be trying to find a suitable product. I really don't want to be in a...

Hi, I currently have a tiled kitchen floor, which is on a suspended cement floor. The floor itself is quite cold to the touch and the room is quite cold as a result and I'd like to improve that. Ideally I'd get under the floor and insulate from beneath but that isn't an option as there is...
