• Need to bulk buy loft insulation, looking online it seems that Wickes/B&Q are the cheapest. Is that legit or is there somewhere else I can find reasonably priced insulation. Pricing Knauf Earthwool 200m at about £25 a roll at both these places. Anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

    @gillies I feel like you've done some insulation buying in the past! Any tips.

  • When we did ours last year I was surprised to find that B&Q was the cheapest for normal Knauf, I imagine prices are controlled tightly by distributors. I did see a literal barnful of it available on ebay that some guy was selling which probably fell off the back of a lorry.

    Check ebay.

  • I think Homebase was around 4.25per M2, BQ 4.55, Wickes 4.63.

  • I haven't bought any earthwool stuff sadly - just natural fibre stuff (woodfibre).

    It might not be useful for you but maybe for others - I found that shipping was significantly cheaper if I rang them up and asked. Typically a local (ish) warehouse provided a quote for a pallet (or more) at between £100 and £150. I got it for £40 on my first order and £25 on my second.
