You risk melting if you greendeal you home

Are windows where most of the heat enters a home in the summer then? Is this not negated by using blinds?

i'd like to see the itchy-poo monkeys do our loft. it'd take 'em 3 days to clear all the junk out. kingspan between the roof rafters is the logical way to insulate a loft, but the cost is horrific.

yes, and yes to an extent - that'd be one mitigation measure that could be used to mitigate the issue. Best bet is some form of external shade over the windows to shade it in summer, but allow the light in in winter, though blinds would be cheaper.

hmmm, 3,000 extra deaths 'may' occur per year by 2080 from homes being too warm against the 20,000+ deaths that are actually happening every year from homes that are too cold. BBC News - Winter death toll 'falls by 8%'

My house is hotter than the sun.

The split-second just after your body starts to spontaneously self-combust - I reckon this is what it feels like.
