Re: Builders - loft insulation

2 x 140mm if you are feeling flush?

Works out at £6 x 2 per m2. About 25m to do. Hmm.

Fair enough, crack on.get yourself one of those paper disposable all in one suits for when you do it. Available at Screwfix

This says no PPE required !!

Not sure I'd take that literally, but looks a lot better to work with than fibregass types etc.

Fair enough, before my loft was converted, it was horrendous up there with dust, old fibres from the insulation etc. It certainly won't do any harm to wear a mask, it's the other shit that could be dodgy. Good luck with your project, Don't go through the ceiling, especially if the missus is having a bath below, like I did!

Jobs like this , it's always best to go up the local and find the village alcoholic that will work for beer tokens.
He won't moan about health and safety or masks or paper suits from screwfix.
He'll happily jump head first into a job like this for about 40 or 50 squids

I think that Monkfish tried what you have suggested. He went to the Village Pub to find the local Alcoholic, but, apparently, you weren't there xxx

Surprisingly the "£100 a day" people are all now asking for £250 and have a six week waiting list !

Not looking forward to it, but will wear decent PPE and take an inspection lamp up there.

Last I remember people were getting 1.50 a sq m on price for putting it in before boarding.. Won't take long to do either.

Why do it yourself and pay for insulation when you can get it for free with a NON means tested government grant:
