Insulation of a loft conversion

Question

With a loft conversion can I fix external wall insulation to the dormer of a loft conversion instead of hanging tiles? I’ll then render the polystyrene sheets to match the existing look of the house. Does this go against building regulations?

Hi all depends on how thick insulation is for builders regulations requirements if changes are made to original drawings etc 👍

Hi you need to get fire proof insulation for that job. But if you remove the tiles you should be able to install insulation within side the dormer then using exmet sheeting you can render the external walls. I hope this answers your question.cheers Paul.

No it wouldn't go against regulations but I wouldn't recommend this as a long term fix.

Yes, you can insulate externaly and render! I have done two projects with external insulation and silicone render and they have passed building control.
