The attic is boarded. Since I've lived here I've discovered lots of things have not been done properly so I decided to try and check what insulation there was between the ceiling and the floor panels.
Well they are tongue and grooved and nailed on. I can't see an easy, non-destructive way to tell if there is insulation, and if there is, whether it's been squashed down or not.
Thought I'd try by looking up one or two ceiling roses but of course there's just a small hole for the wire.
If work is required on the insulation it's going to be a massive job (for me anyway). Approx 30' x 12' for the boarded section.
There's then a few feet either side to the edge of the gable roof, which has loose insulation. 1960's build so is it reasonable to assume that is what is under the floorboards?
I'd guess the boarding was done in the 1980s.
