Figure I can fit it myself, how hard can it be, but I'm a bit worried about the stuff selling out now.
You can. Get the stuff in rolls and lay it out over the 'floor' in the roof space. Probably the easiest, cheapest and least risky bit of home insulation you can DIY. If the synthetic stuff like Rockwool is selling out, consider going to your local farmer and offering to take away a load of wool for free. The moths will have a field day but it'll last the winter.

The loft is partially borded now and I want to board all of it so I think I'll need to add some joists going across the existing beams with space for the insulation underneath and I'm not sure what to do about the electrics that come through the ceiling. It's feeling a little beyond my skill level but we need the cash for other work.

We're about to move to a 30s house that basically has no loft insulation at all. Figure I can fit it myself, how hard can it be, but I'm a bit worried about the stuff selling out now. Even on Wickes right now the first items on the product page and have 70+ in the last 48 hours.
