I am doing some work in my loft rooms. Improving the insulation and creating more eaves storage spaces. I want to have lots of storage, but don't want to compromise the insulation in the rooms. I'm insulating the ceilings and dwarf walls, but will loads of doors create breaks in the insulation? I've considered insulating within the eaves spaces, but presumably I need to leave air flow at the eaves. Does anyone have any ideas how to deal with this problem? Thanks.

You need your insulation to run down the pitch rather than at ceiling level where it probably is now, so you'll need something like 100mm of a rigid insulation like Kingspan or Celotex and a continuous layer beneath the rafters. That'll keep your loft and the void toasty too.
