Default On loft insulation


I have a one-storey cottage with a roof that slopes down
past the loft (if you see what I mean).
It has fibre-glass insulation on the flat part of the roof,
but not on the sloping part.

I have an idea I read somewhere that insulation
should not go down to the eaves.
Is that correct?

Incidentally, the loft-space is very restricted:
50cm high in the centre.
A professional insulator declined to go up there
to add further insulation.

Any suggestions how to do this would be gratefully received.
