Sorry, didn't mean to annoy anyone, you've been very helpful, it's just this is the first time I've done anything like this :( By "sealed" I thought the silver insulation would need to be joined to the top of the wall with an air tight seal though? Thanks, BB

But won't it still be drafty? :( BB

Hi guys, So I finally got round to removing the kick board at the back of the storage area and have found this: I'd like to make the insulation bubble the roof line, but how the hell am I supposed to seal this to the top of the wall? I can't even see the top of the wall :( Any...

So the best plan looks like taking off the kickboard at the back of the storage area and looking where the draft is coming from. Not sure how to join/seal the foil insulation at the top of the wall though :(

Sorry for all the questions :-( What would I seal with? Is there some magic stuff to do it? How should I insulate the end walls? Should I look behind the storage area kick board to see what's happening there? :( I guess that's where the draft is coming from but above the insulation needs...

OK, but from the pictures would you agree that the bubble is supposed to look like the right hand side of that last picture? But it's still drafty :( Maybe I should look into why it's still drafty? Is that 'multi foil insulation' on the roof? Should it be joined together somehow? I guess...

Yeah I get it, thanks :D Just wondering what I need to re-do and what high tech insulation is out there to save us some storage space 8) Thanks, BB

So I should really raise up the storage area floor and put more insulation below it? :(

Hi, Thanks, this is making more sense now. The Dwarf walls seem fairly easy, just fill the areas between the uprights? Do I not need a layer of insulation over the wooden uprights or is that overkill? Is wood a decent insulator? :lol: I think the party wall within the habitable area are...

That makes sense, thanks. The storage floor is just on top of the ceiling battens though, so has less insulation. Is that ok? What would be the best insulation to cover the steel work and dwarf walls with? And what do I need to do with the wall to the neighbours? Sorry for all the...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. What would you recommend I insulate the dwarf wall with? I've read about vapour barriers and all sorts of things, but am confused. :( I'm also not sure what you mean on the block wall, what do I need to do there? I'm new to all this sorry and am unsure of the...

I'm happy to insulate anything that needs insulating, I just need to know what does. :lol: That is the wall to next door. The house is middle of three. Is the storage area suppose to be an insulated warm area? It's still drafty when it's windy, so therefore I thought would be cold, hence...

Does anyone have any advice? The Mrs is giving me grief :(

The wall that is on the right of the second picture is the room wall. It is plasterboard on top of ply wood. The silver foil insulation stuff (I don't know what it is called) is fastened to the roof all the way to where the roof meets the wall - but there there is a gap - for ventilation...

Hi, I'm thinking of insulating the internal walls of a loft conversion (the wall between the main room and the storage area). The storage area is insulated but still a little drafty :( The walls are made of a layer of ply wood and a layer of plasterboard. What would be the best way of...
