Hi All
Semi detached Victorian Just had a new roof and I need to insulate it now. We have 2 rooms up on our 2nd floor. Just had 2 new dorma formed on the back of the roof, had a terrible single plastic dorma removed.
As you can see in the pics we had cold eaves before. I plan to insulate the pitch from the bottom of the pitch to the 2nd purlin and ceiling. Now my rafters are 4x2. To get the required insulation I'll need to add 2x2's to deepen existing rafters. Push 100mm solid insulation between rafters. Then insulate further approx 60mm across underneath to stop thermal bridging. Then I need to plasterboard. Can anyone recommend how I should go about this and materials to use. I'm a little worried about all the extra weight, should I be?
Any help or ideas muchly appreciated.
Ps. I'm going to board the eave floors again with chipboard. Should I remove all that junk and insulation first?
