A couple of years ago we had an extension to the rear of a bungalow. The extension joined our detached single garage to our home. All the requirements were met for the building regs, in fact I was suprised when I saw the loft insulation at how thick it was compared to our main roof loft...

I am planning to insulate an attached garage as a home improvement project (not as a garage conversion). 3 of the walls are external single layer brick. The other is internal breezeblock. I am trying to achieve the best U value I can without going crazy with the insulation (something around 0.7...

Shortly after moving into our house a couple of years back we converted one half of a double garage into a usable room. The dividing wall down the middle of the garage was already in place. The builder went with cavity filling on the dividing wall and the new base wall were the garage door use...

As title we have a house with a side extension done around the 80's and doesn't seem insulated properly. My daughters bedroom is above the garage and in the winter is like an ice box even with the radiator full blast. Is it possible to insulate the garage ceiling so it keeps her room above a...

Hi all, I'm about to start insulating my garage using 50mm battons and celotex on the floor and walls. Question is, do I need to put a DPM under and behind these? Thank you.

Afternoon all, would appreciate some advice if at all possible. We moved house a couple of years ago, and the master bedroom is above the double garage. The bedroom has always been quite cold, and when I finally got around to investigating why, I discovered that although the ceiling of the...

We just bought a 1930's house that had a kitchen extension on back of garage about 12years ago. The wall between kitchen and garage is a single skin breeze block wall. The kitchen is always freezing, and it was suggested that this maybe the cause. There is no room to insulate in the...

Hi, This is about the same garage as my previous post but didn't feel this was in any way related. My garage is attached to the house and has a flat roof. It has been split in half with a stud wall when our kitchen was done. I want to insulate the ceiling in the remaining garage area but I...

Hi all I noticed my neighbour has insulated his up-and-over garage door, which is the same as mine, attached to the house and under half of the front bedroom (little daughters). It appears all he's done is bond Kingspan or Celotex panels to the inside of the metal door panel. I'm not...

Sorry if this had been asked before but I'm getting a lot of different answers to this question. I have a double garage, separate to the house with a pitched roof. The rafters are partially boarded out for storage. The walls are painted and the floor is sealed and painted. I need to...

I have made my external garage into a gym for weightlifting etc. I am looking to install some insulation boards on the rafters. I have attached pics. They are not deep rafters 10cm which limits what I can do. If I boarded them over with Recticel Instafit Polyurethane 50mm would it make much...

I'm going to get the ceiling of my part-integral garage renewed by getting rid of the old plasterboard and putting new plasterboard up. However, i'd like to take the opportunity to insulate the ceiling void which meets my bathroom floor above. A builder has suggested using Celotex in the...

I've inherited a problem garage with the problem house I bought. I now mm n need to replace the roof on my garage and want to add some insulation. I'm going to put it between the ply and the rafters for simplicity. I know I can use foil conferred insulation boards, but what about using floor...

Hello, this type of thing has been answered before but the joists in my garage run side to side, as opposed to front to back so it leaves me with a slightly different problem. My single garage is in a block of garages and is made up of a single skin of breeze blocks. It has a flat felt roof...

Our bedroom is above an unheated garage and is freezing. I don't think there is any insulation between the garage ceiling and the bedroom floor. What would be the best way to insulate the suspended floor - from below by taking down the existing garage ceiling or from above by lifting the bedroom...
