If you're going to lay boards and / or chipboard, could you make a simple suspended floor (i.e. lay some really basic joists and noggins) underneath that could correct for the slope? You'd correct just by raising one side of the structure with footers screwed into the joists and then supporting it at suitable places.
It's obviously more work, but not that hard I don't reckon. If you were going to lay the floorboards yourself I imagine you'd be able to pull it off.
Might even be able to squeeze some polystyrene insulation material in between the joists where there's space to help a bit with the insulation.

It does a bit doesn't it.
DIY question. The floor slopes down about 6 inches from back to front. Levelling it will cost me a fortune, am I an idiot to just lay down damp proofing/ insulation boards and then chipboard over it, even though it's sloping?
I could just paint the floor, but I really want to insulate it if I can. Best case result is a steady enough temp and humidity to keep acoustic guitars out there.
