Hi Folks!
I'm doing some renovation work for an old lady. She has a bungalow of single wall block on brick construction which has a dry-lining [ I'd say ].
The place is Bl**dy cold.
Her floor appears to be a concrete slab, over which a wooden [floor boards] is laid - nailed to joists rested somehow on the side walls and a 2 course brick pillar running central down the length of the bungalow. Some sort of 50's Norfolk construction.... [ You can always tell Norfolk when you see the electrics - *shudders* ]
Anyway..... I was wondering whether or not I could wop some insulation under the floorboards to reduce heat loss into that cavity to the concrete slab?? If so, any particular kind?
There are air-bricks around the outside to 'air' that cavity so I'd hate to cause a damp problem.....
Thanking you in advance!
