Loft insulation...
Recently had a loft conversion done. Eaves made available for storage, and there's building-regs-compliant insulation between the eaves wall and the loft room, but they left us the eaves to insulate. I've laid down standard insulation (and some boards for a storage space) and put a couple of sheets of perspex over a single-glazed window, but wondering about the best way to insulate the external wall?
For a start there are clear holes where you can see daylight, which I thought I could just plug with some foam? And are there any easy DIY solutions for boarding over the brickwork or should I just make do with plugging the gaps?
Is your loft ventilated to the outside world without going via the eaves? If so, plugging the gaps might make sense. Essentially the eave is a 'cold loft' though, right? If so you'd get more returns further isolating it from the loft conversion and rooms below.
