Having lived through a rather chilly first winter in our new home I'm making it a priority this summer to tackle the loft insulation, or more precisely the lack of loft insulation.
We live in a late victorian, mid terrace house which was constructed without roofing felt; as was the norm in this period.
I'm planning on putting standard loft insulation between the ceiling rafters and then board over with loft board. As well as this I'm planning on putting insulation board between the roof joists to create a second layer of insulation.
The questions I have are:
- Will adding the insulation board to the roof cause issues with my unfelted roof?
- Can I remove these upright pieces of wood? See the picture below, excuse the junk in the foreground.
