Hi all.
We have recently bought a house & I'm currently doing a fair bit of work to it.
The porch was apparently added late 80's- early 90's & there is no insulation in the (Unvented) roofspace. The ceiling has 3 spots in it.
I know that the neighbour has said the previous owner said it was always freezing cold in the porch so I was going to pull the ceiling down, & add PIR insulation, re-board & also clad ceiling using hollow soffit boards & re-fit the spots. This of course in itself brings problems with the insulation needing to be cut, thus allowing condensation into the roofspace.
I cant drop the ceiling as there is only the possibility to drop it 25mm maximum any further drop would mean that the ceiling would be lower than the head of the original doorway.
Any advice would be appreciated on best way round this.
Thanks
Joe
