Hi all,
Our bedroom simply will not get hotter than 16 degrees! We’ve got a baby on the way and his cot is in our bedroom so we’re trying to work out how to make it warmer for him.
I’ve re-sealed the windows, which are double glazing. I’ve put the heat reflective foil behind the radiator. I’ve sealed any tiny gaps or holes I can spot.
It’s made things slightly better but the temp still won’t go above 16 when other rooms are much hotter (20+ish degrees)
One issue I think it could be is as we are on the top floor on the block of flats - we are basically right in the pitched roof; I’m wondering if there is little to no insulation in the roof space but from what I’ve previously been told by the managing agent there is no access to this part of the loft as it’s sealed off.
Does anyone have any ideas for what else we could try? Or can spot from the pictures anything glaringly draughty? Or even is there such a magic solution I’m not aware of like stick on insulation to go on the ceiling?
The only other option I can think of is cranking the heating temperature up and leaving it on all night, baby is warm but pockets will be empty haha!
Any help is much appreciated!
