Re: Installing PIR insulation between wonky donky joists

Hi S, As I have now found time to get back to this project, I wanted ask for some additional advice. The joists are around 35mm thick.

Re: Installing PIR insulation between wonky donky joists

Hi S,

Thanks for your guidance! I assume i'd only screw the batons to some of the rafters, i.e. not the protruding one?

I'm in the process of undertaking the challenging job of fitting PIR between the pitched ceiling joists, and the joists are a little bit tipsy! My concern is that because the joi...

I have no idea how easy the vents are to install, but i'm thinking of having an inspection done and then getting them fitted (if the need to be fitted throug...

Re: Repairing/Replacing my Pitched Ceiling

Hi S, Thanks for your reply, and for your advice! I did a bit of investigating yesterday and took a photo from the loft. There is also a small gap at the back of the polystyrene, but that's no good if there aren't any vents providing ventilation! (Which i'm assuming there isn't given the condensatio...
