Default Vapour barrier in loft conversion...

Hi All,

We're in the process of insulating our loft conversion, something the
builders that performed the conversion didn't seem to think was
necessary - in Scotland. To do this we've been taking down the
plasterboard on the walls and pitched part of the ceilings and putting
XtraTherm (which appears to be a Celotex clone) between the studs.
This is an old stone house with wooden rafters forming a pitched,
slated roof.

First room we did was the bathroom and f*ck me if we weren't too
stupid to remember to put a vapour barrier in before putting the new
plasterboard up over the insulation. D'Oh!

I guess we really need to get some vapour barrier in. Is there an
alternative to pulling out the plasterboard, stapling up polythene and
putting the more plasterboard up?

Replies don't have to be sypathetic.

Cheers - Adam...
