Hi
I hope someone might be able to advise or give pointers on what I could/ should do regarding a building issue. I moved into my house 5 years ago, it is a 1960‘s building that had a two storey extension added back in 1996.The extension was a garage and utility room with a large bedroom and en-suite above it. There is no loft space I.e the bedroom has very high ceilings (roughly 3 ish meters) with velux windows. The windows needed replacing and I did this roughly 4 years ago.
The issue that I have noticed each year is that in the bedroom appears to be unable to retain heat in winter and in the summer it gets super hot (even with 4 windows wide open). It leads me to think that there is an issue with the insulation….?
I would love to resolve the issue or at least reduce it…. Can anything be done? (Apologies if this is a daft question, which is a possibility due to my ignorance regarding building matters).
