A long shot, but since there are all-sorts in this group...
Our house is a dormer bungalow -yes, they are crap in a lot of ways, but our
top-class Irish planning laws, in their infinite wisdom, forbid 2-storey
dwellings in many non-city areas... but that's not _strictly_ my current
problem (or maybe it is)...
My problem is this: The whole house is dry-lined. This can make things a bit
cosier, but unfortunately I believe it is the main reason why myself and 2
children get sore throats at various times during the year (my wife seems
immune to it mostly, for some reason).
I have no idea who to contact to see if something can be done -or even _if_
this is the cause. I don't want to call in an "insulation expert" who
recommends lots of work that costs a fortune and ends up making no
difference.
Also though (while I'm at it), mostly the house isn't _too_ hot or _too_
cold (unlike a lot of dormers I've come across), but there is one room
upstairs that is particularly terrible to keep warm in winter or cool in
Summer. ...Seems to me like this room is lacking insulation that was
installed elsewhere... my daughter who stays in this room does get a lot of
sore throats and coughs -not always related to heat or cold though.
Does anyone have any "magic solutions/suggestions" or had similar
experiences, etc.?
Moving is not really on the cards I'm afraid.
-Kevin.
