Hi All,
Just reading this with interest as we've just had a single storey extension built with a sloped tiled roof with sky light and down lighters. It was only completed in spring and I am now wondering if we will lose much heat through the ceiling. I was going to insulate around the down lights but it would appear the consensus is DON'T. A point was made that the loft would be heated whilst the lights were on but what about during the day?
Last thing........we live in a chalet and access to the eaves is via a door in my daughters room. Before she was born (9 months ago) I had a paranoid DIY insulation splurge and insulated in between the rafters of the roof as when the wind blows it chills her room and I thought she would get cold!! Now having read the above I may be at risk of trapped moisture - how much of a risk is this and should I now pull it all down??
Thanks,
Mike.
