Hello boaters, Recently bought a 1930 admiralty ammunition barge, the stench of mould and damp were there. Had a hull survey done but not an interior survey. Not to worried about the interior as it was destined to be stripped out. When converted 20 years ago and clearly done by a bodger on a budget. When stripping out the interior every wood board, every wood support, every sheet of celotex and all if the loft insulation jammed into every corner......was damp and mouldy Pictures attached hopefully show the extent of the hull damage caused by the rot to the interior. I only post these in the hope that it helps the inexperienced make better decisions when it comes to insulating their boats. The steel has been sweating behind the celotex, dripping water into the bilge constantly, most of the paint has separated and peeled off as the steel was not prepped properly and the paint was cheap and not fit for purpose. Although all of the damage to the steel is on the surface and can be repaired/welded etc the rest of the interior has to be stripped and replaced..........After the hull gets blasted/painted and most importantly SPRAYFOAM INSULATED. So my advice is don't be cheap, do it properly.

I am refitting our boat and we have a new plastic watertank. we are planning on getting it spray foam insulated when we have our boat insulated. we are planning on removing a section of the subfloor and having the watertank sit on the ballasts/ girders there will be about 3 inch gap between the hull and watertank. Is there a danger or condensation trapped in this gap, should i insulate under aswell?

I would like to insulate the roof of a narrowboat and wonder if 25mm sheets of Celotex or Kingspan have sufficient to flexibility to accommodate the curvature of the roof.

Hi All, I followed advice from CW when ordering my boat and got 25mm of spray-foam on all internal surfaces above the bilges. I am now looking at the wiring looms for my LEDs. I intend on using conduit (not sure which - that's basically my question) but i imagine something like this.. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=20mm+conduit&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=puOSVJ6IO8Ou7AbZnICgDg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=-pX5wtCG84khWM%253A%3Btg3byMK0xQVrdM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcpc.farnell.com%252Fproductimages%252Ffarnell%252Fstandard%252F42405771.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcpc.farnell.com%252F1%252F1%252F54260-20mm-steel-pvc-conduit-10m-cb02640-elkay.html%3B193%3B200 and circular junction boxes above each LED position..... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=circular+junction+box&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=QOSSVKu7C4_B7AbRpIGgDg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#facrc=_&imgdii=xvVlMt2NQhk9UM%3A%3BKeJ1IqoG71oYnM%3BxvVlMt2NQhk9UM%3A&imgrc=xvVlMt2NQhk9UM%253A%3B9_aCDDsH1j-ZwM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fimg.weiku.com%252Fb%25255C001%25255C362%25255C195Junction_Box_2_way_.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.seekpart.com%252Fvalves-fittings%252Fpipe-fittings%252Fpvc%252Bjunction%252Bbox.html%3B640%3B480 to house the wiring then to use cut to size Celotex boards and expanding foam (as filler/adhesive) to make the additional 50mm (aprox- does vary through out the boat) to bring level with the battons. Any recommendation on the best conduit to use and why? I imagine ability to withstand fire is one property, any others....? Many thanks!!
