Had an extension completed three years ago, 3 metres out the back, the entire width of our house.
Whilst we have radiators in the existing building, we have underfloor heating in the new build and it works great. However, on occasions and in certain areas, there's a right draught.
I've figured out this draught is coming from the recessed light fittings in the flat ceiling. Travelling down the slopping ceiling and down the walls and hitting you on the shoulders if sat in the wrong place.
I've googled a bit and it appears to be a common problem, and there's all sorts of solutions that may or may not be possible.
The space above the lights is just timber and roofing, there's no access to any of it without removing the roof or ripping down the ceiling.
Has anyone successfully addressed a draught problem like this or have any good suggestions?
Attached is a picture from just over 3 years ago before we completed. There's is a total of 9 recessed spotlights stretching a length of 10 metres.
