The false ceiling is now in and the insulation too. The ceiling, which is the floor of the loft, is concrete block and beam. This would absorb a large amount of heat to no purpose. So our house is gradually becoming cocooned.

The first fix wiring for the ceiling lights is now in as well so the plasterer can come back and plasterboard the ceiling. He then will start on doubling the exterior walls with insulation there as well.
