    NOT really a R.E. issue so I'll move this to Construction & Planning with a redirect left.

    You haven't mentioned your existing-insulation build up. You really need to be looking at a prov ber as Mick above said before going any further

    the ONLY way to know if your new build complies with regulations is to have a BER assessment done.
    This will tell you what you have to do to comply as in, what levels of insulation, heating, etc
