Hi
A bit difficult to describe but here goes (with pictures)
Ive stripped out a spare bedroom (upstairs) with a view to re-skim/decorate etc. When I ripped out the skirting board I punched a small hole in the plaster board & thought nothing of it apart from the rush of freezing cold air that came in.
I knocked a bigger hole (loads of freezing cold air) to see exactly what was on the other side. Its actually the void roof space of small sticky out roof that you can stand under outside (about two foot and extends the length of the house). The plaster board is nailed onto a timber frame that forms the bedroom wall. Best see the pictures to see what I mean.
There is no insulation at all within the sticky out roof space and none on the timber frame the plasterboard is attached too.
Ive uploaded the photos but they seem to have rotated ninety degrees, so please bear this in mind!
