    Insulation of old loft room (sorry long post!)

    Hi All, Bit of a lurker but thought this would be the best place to ask the questions. Our old (1865) house has a loft room that has always been a room ( i suspect it was servant quarters once).

    Cracked floor tiles over pipes

    My15 yr old bathroom has 5 tiles cracked in two lines over the feed pipes to a radiator and the washbasin. I believe they are probably laid direct onto flooring board given that the en-suite which has had to be refurb'ed for other reasons was. I don't want to strip out the whole room on cost...
