The Attic
If you don't have adequate attic insulation, you are losing energy and money through the roof.
- If your attic insulation is currently less than 200 mm, then you should add further layers. The water tank and pipes should also be insulated to prevent freezing. The area under the cold water tank should not be insulated. (€€€ /**)
- Check the attic hatch or door for cold draughts along its perimeter and seal it with draught proofing to prevent heat escaping.
