    Cold bedrooms, condensation on curved ceilings.

    Yes that could be simpler, although I have to get a plasterer in and pay them. No doubt have to clear the room and deal with all the debris as well. Kingspan I can do myself, wont be an easy job, will be very messy and itchy with the loft insulation, but the labour will be free! Some of...

    Vented stack, do I need an air admittance valve as well?
