Has anyone got any thoughts on the new insulation requirements with regards to a property with no ceiling space? It has exposed rafters instead. The rafters run from the floor of the bedrooms to the celling, and then from the floor of the loft at the top storey til they meet in the middle. Hope that makes sense. I think it would be a big and very expensive task to retro-fit insulation to the roof/ceiling as the space between rafters would have to be framed and lined. Are there any exemptions for cases like this?
Also, the lower storey is brick. Built in Titahi Bay in the 60's so I presumed not insulated. It's not a huge house, so I think the effort and cost would hardly be worth it. One side of the place backs onto the one next door, so we're actually only talking about one exterior wall (the ext walls at each end are small and mostly windows) and the roof with its rafters.
