  • I need to change a double pendent light back to a central light. Speaking to the plasterer he said going in from above would be the easiest and neatest - in upstairs room roll back carpet to middle of room, lift floorboard.

    My questions are these:

    1. is there anything I need to be aware of rolling back the carpet? I have only ever removed carpet, not roll back and replaced.
    2. Is there any value while half the carpet is up to adding some insulation in one half of the floor?

    It isn't practical/achievable to put insulation in between all the joists so that is 100% out. However, would lobbing some loose fluffy insulating the floor in one half of the room be worth it? The idea being, down the line I could find some time to do the other half of the room - whereas we'll never carve out the time to empty the whole room and do the whole floor properly.

    Cheers.

    (yes I know we should have considered this before plastering)
