Default Trying to insulate an enclosed loft space above my kitchen?

We live in a two storey Edwardian semi which has the kitchen at the
back in a single story extension.
The kitchen is much harder to heat than the rest of the house

because
it has 3 external walls and virtually no insulation.
The kitchen roof slopes at an angle but there is no entrance to this
loft space to lay traditional insulation.
I suppose I could take some tiles off the roof but that would be

quite
a big job.
Is there some insulation I could blow into the space that would
improve the situation?


Why not cut a trap door - not only can you insulate easier and cheaper
than blowing in, you can also access lighting wires etc in the future.
