Greetings
I am planning to have my very ageing roof retiled. In the process I am going to insulate the loft. Currently there are boards on top of the ceiling joists, with insulation here and there underneath the boards. The loft is used to store a lot of stuff, access to which is via a foldaway loft ladder.
I picture putting mineral wool stuff up to the level of the joists, then rigid boards on top, followed by wooden boards to allow the stored stuff back in again.
BUT - for the loft ladder to work, the space that it folds onto would have to remain at its current level, i.e. atop of the joists, so not as fully insulated as the bulk of the loft space.
Would that be allowed under the buiding regs?
Cheers
