I was looking round a friend's house over the weekend as he is trying
to decide how best to insulate a bedroom ceiling. He has a dormer /
bedroom built into the loft (before he moved in) and at one end of the
room in an area about 6m x 2.5m, this has a good ceiling but it is
under the roof and peering up into the space through a removed light
fitting, it looks like was very little insulation put in that space
when it was built.

To add insulation now is virtually impossible without either removing
roof tiles, taking down the ceiling or, perhaps, blowing insulation in
the space as is done for cavity wall insualtion installation.

Screw on battens, insulate between them with Jablite or one of the
better (re. thickness/insulation effect) products, plasterboard over,
skim (or fill) and re-paint.
