nice. I need to do something like this as we have an incredible amount of space up there doing nothing as it's all covered in 300mm insulation over the top of the joists.
HatBeard-
is it rockwool or similar? the stuff is just not very nice to work with :(
When winter comes around I'm gonna hire a thermal camera and look for cold spots where the insulation needs adjusted. There's also an old lath and plaster 'box' which goes from the ceiling to a skylight on the roof which I'll need to get some thin PIR or something around it. There is really significant heatloss from there.

With some help from my step dad, spent the last two days hauling a shit ton of incredibly dusty shite out of my attic and built a storage platform whilst topping up the insulation. It's nothing fancy but a huge improvement on what was there before.
This meant I had to cut a hole and install a new hatch in the loft floor which was especially dusty-
worth it though.
