Its not challenging, dirty yes, awkward yes, hard work if the loft is full of stuff like mine was! Hardest bit is getting the stuff right up to the far end (where the soffit is) I used a broom and plenty mucle lol! Need another 3 large rolls (these break down into 3 standard width rolls)
Just hope I see the benefit, the insulation is now twice as thick, around about 18 inches lol!

I seen adverts for £200 labour if you buy the stuff needed and you can get a grant towards it I think, I didnt bother with that.
On reflection £200 for a 4 bed detached seems good value! But its £200 saved now!
I cant poo.
Does your breath smell..... Different at all?...
Made a massive difference in our house foxy, and does hold in the heat.
You can tell who doesnt have loft insulation in the winter because snow on the roof melts

Lol yes I thought that would be interestin to see! Ideally we should all insulate under the upstairs floorboards too but what a pain having to remove all the freekin furniture, lift laminate floors / carpets....
if your going to cut it so it fits between the joists cut it in the wrapper with a panel saw
and a decent dust mask P2 or P3 is a good idea too..
Dont forget DONT insulate under water tanks but insulate up the side and top this way heat from the house stops them freezing also lag any pipework with 1" or thicker split Foam insulation

ffoxy,is your tank in the loft?
make sure its lagged
often folk put loads of insulation in then wonder why the tank/pipes froze

Aye thanks Custard, tank and all pipes well lagged, it was all done before but wasnt up to modern standards.
Excellent point though...

yep....
did ours a few years ago my dad managed to scrounge 2 HUGE rolls from a building site where they were insulating a metal clad building the rolls were about 5 foot wide needless to say we have plenty in the loft...
One last thing if you have soffit vents or a slight gap where you can see daylight DONT block that with insulation otherwise the air flow will stop running the risk of rotting timbers

B&Q stuff was pre-cut, just had to separate the sections with a whack!Bought the mask & gloves too but that stuff gets every feckin where!
Pipes have already got the split foam stuff on happily, but thanks for the tip on NOT lagging under the tanks Andy / Custard... that clearly a logical tip I would have miussed lol!

Having read your other thread, sorry but after a week you need something stronger. Glycerol suppositries will get you moving fast, then back it up with another laxative such as lactulose for a few days to keep moving until you get back to normal
Plenty of fluids as well I give up, going shopping shortly and guess what I'll be buying?
Nothings made me grumpy (well what did got sorted lol), but just feel like I could burst out crying (for no reason and its not 'that time of the month' either)
:hug: Watch a weepy film and have a good
mentioning lofts,i really need to get ours floored
ive been putting it off for ages as the hatch is tiny and i struggle just to get my shoulders through
im broad shouldered but not that broad!!! new builds can be a pain
i suppose i could cut out the hatch but its morew work/chance of cocking it up
