Looking for a bit of advice from any builders or insulation expert on here.
I've got quite an old flat that was built in 1900, it's had an attic conversion done by one of the previous owners.
When I was lying in bed this morning trying to avoid getting up and going to work I started thinking that the height of the converted ceiling didn't go up to the full heigh of the roof so there must be a bit of space above the converted ceiling.
There's a cupoard build into the stud work and the pasterboard at the top hadn't been skimmed so I removed the screw and low and behold there's a craking bit of space up there that runs the full length about 4ft in height so ideal for storage.
One thing that's been annoying me since I moved in was the draft you can feel at the gabel end side of the building so I had a look at that side when I was in the roof space.
There's no insulation behind the stud work and there's also air vents in the roof which I think is combining causing the drafts. Would there be any problems with stuffing some insulation down behind the stud work between the interior and exterior wall?
I've attached two photo's of the space, not great quality as it was on my phone and pretty dark.
Cheers
Johnny
