I'm right into the major mess stage with the old Bungalow. It would make sense to rip out the plasterboard and crappy glass wool that's full of mouse crap and corpses, and better to do it now and get it over and done.
Some (30% at least) has to come out so I can get access to run cables and pipes anyway. Ultimately it should all come out so I can check the roof timbers and reinsulate to a better standard (this dormer isn't freezing but it does bleed heat).
If I do it now, it will have to run for two winters uninsulated as that's a phase 2 job.
I could mitigate by dropping 4" of insulation under the floor (like bagged glass wool or sheeps wool or something else that's not totally offensive to my lungs).
4" would be a useful long term acoustic barrier, keep a little heat in downstairs and end up below my cables (clipped to side of joists) so I don't have to consider silly amounts of derating.What would you do?
Cheers
