Chicken wire cradle for insulation in loft conversion - legal requirement?

[Hooliesmoolies]

I am having a 4am panic and can 't sleep. My loft is being converted and my builders are using private building control. That means they have been once.

I don't think they have put the insulation between the existing bedrooms and the new loft in chicken wire. Is this a legal requirement?

I also asked for sound proofing between that floor and they have put in acoustic wool stuff. But I'm not sure it is everywhere, in every hole possible, which will make it pointless surely? They did say something about breathable space.

And, I don't think the floor boards are tongue and groove, is that a problem?

Thanks!!

if the insulation is sitting on the plaster ceiling, it doesn't need chicken wire.

You do not need thermal insulation between a bedroom and loft conversion if the loft conversion is habitable space, as it will be heated.

Floorboards do not have to be T&G.

If you have chipboard flooring, which is cheap rubbish,it is usually manufactured T&G.

THANK YOU so much PigletJohn!

You have made me feel much better.
