Lads, Im looking to see if anybody can best advise on how to sort out a small problem I have. I have a bay window (3 bed semi) in my sitting room and that part of the room is MUCH colder than the rest of the room, it is obvious that the insulation in the walls under the windows and at the side of the bay window is crap im also sure that there is very little (if any) insulation in the ceiling part of the bay window.

I was going to rip off all the plasterboard and use rockwool but this is going to be very messy and awkward, would it be possible to fill the gap between the internal wall & the plasterboard with poly beads (or similar) and could somebody recommend a contractor based in dublin. I know its a very small job but it would save me a bigggg DIY job so I dont mind paying for it if this is the best way to go about it.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers
Alan
