hi there
Were renovating an old house and im looking for advice on how to insulate under the bay window without causing rot on the timbers in the future.

The above shows the area underneath the window. This is the first floor. We are putting rockwool fiber glass between the floor joists you can see. The external walls will have insulated plasterboard put on them. This leaves the area under the bay window as the only cold area so we need to insulate it.
Additionally we need to insulate above the window where the wooden supports are. It’s very important we get this right as those supports are holding up the bay window above it. Bonus pigeon in this photo!

Would anyone have advice how to do this? The timbers are 170 years old so i want to make sure our insulation does not cause rot on the timbers in the future. The area underneath the window is lath and lime with timber support.
Thanks!
