Cheers for that.

Did you put the DPM behind the insulation, or in front (before the
plasterboard)?

Thanks


No I didn't as this is effectively an extension of the
roof itself so there is roofing felt, then 22mm. sarking boards, then
95mm. studs packed with that RockSilk insulation, then 12.5mm
plasterboard. There seems to be two schools of thought regarding
putting polythene on top of the insulation and under the plasterboard.
Who wants to live in a poly-bag?

Chris.


You will get condensation on the sarkin boards. Can you get access
from the attic to inspect?
