Do I need to plasterboard the lofts

[Chanmenie]

Hi all

I have nearly finished the insulation in my attic trusses, I have put insulation from the ridge to the eaves as I wanted the lofts warm.

Is it recommended to plasterboard over the insulation in the loft spaces ?

I didn't and building control weren't fussed.

Our Building Inspector was more concerned that there was the correct ventilation space between the insulation and the slates/flat roof to prevent condensation in the voids.

Yeah I have a 50mm gap between insulation and felt / tiles, building inspector didn’t ask to see it

I think it depends on what you use the loft space for, storage? Leave it, office etc, plasterboard and scim.

It will only be storage, not big enough for anything else, other than the MVHR pipes and manifolds
