I found this after removing the 9mm plasterboard wall in the bedroom at the top of the house
Basically, sod all insulation. You can't quite make it out in the photo, but there is a small hole open the outside in the far corner (half way up image, one quarter from the left).
What I don't know is how best to insulate this bedroom. I'm going to put insulation in between the joists for the bedroom below (and maybe board over the joists), but I have no idea how best to insulate this room. Should I be trying to insulate close to the roof (ie, attaching insulation to the beams supporting the roof, or should I just be trying to insulate the room itself? I presume I'd have to fill in the hole to the outside world if I were to insulate the roof rather than the room.
Any help muchly appreciated.
Cheers
