• I want to improve my loft insulation, but good chance I'll get a conversion done in the next couple of years so I don't want to spend too much effort on it.

    The place is part-boarded, with a thin scattering of vermiculite and some ancient styrofoam boards between rafters. It doesn't do much.

    Any suggestions for a time-efficient job that will do for a couple of years?

  • Just unroll some insulation over the joists. Dont worry about the boarding. Remove the styro-firehazard.

    If you have water tanks in the loft don't insulate below them as they need the leaky heat to keep them from freezing in ultra cold periods.

  • Remove polystyrene, unroll 300mm total thickness worth of Knauf mineral wool loft insulation. Half a day’s work
