  • Poked my head up into the loft of the new house today. I want to insulate properly and partially overboard for storage. Best to just get rid of all this glass fibre crap and start again, or just re-lay where is been messed with and last some more over the top?

    How to deal with ceiling lights in the bathroom too? Haven't inspected them yet, but can they be covered if properly isolated from the insulation?

  • To be honest that isn't too bad. WHen I got my flat I had about 7cm of stuff but all pushed to the side, so no loft insulation in effect. Now with proper rockwool at ~27cm thick (like yours) rolled out on top things are a lot better.

    For lights, what I've done is got the units which have an integrated cap, so the insulation can be layed ontop

    For me I have the horizonal section of trusses about 50cm above the floor/ceiling so can climb and store on those.
    You can get lift stilts to add a storage deck, above

  • Yeah it was more than I expected, we had one or two chilly nights last week but I think some of that is just getting used to a bigger place and how much longer it takes to heat up.

    I think there's room for improvement still especially upgrading the hatch to something more airtight.
