Hi Guys,
I'm looking at buying an old house. I found some of the upstairs rooms cold and when I looked in the attic I could see that the slates on the roof are hammered in to each other and in to the rafters and thats it. There was practically a gale blowing up there too(this seems to be coming through the attic door-which doesn't fit 100%)
There is insulation on the ceiling though.
I would have expected some type of felt and perhaps some insulation inside the roof.
Is it expensive to sort this out. I was looking at the sheep wool insulation mentioned on another post.It appears to be almost a DIY job.Would some felt and insulation be enough to sort this out?
Also, is it easy to replace the rubber insulation in the inside of an aluminium window?Half the windows must have problems with this. I can feel the breeze coming in though where the rubber has come away.
Thanks a lot
