Cavity Over Doorway

c.p.w.g.w

So need some help.

My front-door is a recessed front door. So over the door there is only a sheet of timber and an empty space until the floorboards in the bathroom above.

In the winter the bathroom and parts of upstairs gets cold. I need to figure out how to insulate it. Or if anyone knows anyone in the Limerick/Tipperary/Clare area who may do this kinda work?

Is it the type of job that insulation companies do, or is it too small for them?

the_pen_turner

probably too small for the majority but the smaller guys would fit it in.

Without fully understanding the set up... maybe some photos would help?

I would suggest take down the board/sheet of timber
Insert rigid insulation either directly above where the board will be replaced or to the underside of the joists of the bathroom floor.
Replace board/sheet.
