Hi
I moved into my current property about 4 years ago (mid terrace with natural stone slate roof.)
The attic space was boarded and artexed.
There was no insulation and the room was very cold. After the first winter I pulled down the ceiling, installed some urethane insulation board.
To ensure that there would be an air gap (above the insulation) I added battens to the sides of the joists as spacers.
The attic now smells of damp!! I am guessing that there are no vents I had assumed that this would have already been done.
I'm skint and my wife is expecting our second baby in early August.
Does anyone know any cheap solutions or what is the best way to get a contractor without ending up with a cowboy???
