Old house, old beams and rafters in the loft space. All a bit wonky, as can be expected.
I want to put down TG boarding on the ceiling joists, to make some storage space up there. There is insulation above the ceiling and there is also rock-wool insulation between the rafters.
There are two roof vents and the CH flue goes up there too.
At the moment it seems to get very dusty up there and I wondered about boarding out the rafters with plasterboard. Should I remove the insulation (it's very loosely in place) and then board over or leave it in place. The 'floor' has 200mm rockwool.
Should I do anything special around the CH flue? Obviously I don't block the vents.
Thanks.
