Default Loft Insulation

These are quite typical numbers, Neil.

I guess that this is an older house with a new extension?


Yes. The old part is 500 year old, or so. The extension was bulit in
1995.

It's interesting to note that the losses are close to being the same
upstairs and downstairs.


Just to add my 2p. I insulated my loft to 150mm. I had lots of
insulation over so doubled up over the main bedroom where I sleep.
This bedroom is warmer in winter, and thankfully last summer a lot
cooler. I could always sleep while neighbours complained they were too
hot to sleep in similar houses to mine. When I have time I will do
the whole loft to at least 300mm. If I can get a decent deal maybe
thicker. To me it will be worth it. I don't know about economics as I
haven't kept a watch on the gas bills. To me that is not the real
issue during a hot summer.

Quite.
