I have a loft conversion with a sloping ceiling up against the rafters.

are at 13-14C. Moisture I measure at about 15% all round, so I don't think
it's damp.

It would be good to sort out the cold spots, so I'm wondering how to
insulate:

2. Take down the ceiling and add Celotex from below. Still drastic, and I
don't know if there's any asbestos in the (1970s) ceiling.


This one is the best compromise between cost and function
