finally got round to clearing out the loft to get it insulated (although all the crap up there probably acted as insulation anyway !!)
i went online to wicks and found buy one get 3 free deal so went for that, it went down well and took me a couple of hours- as my loft is huge. im already noticing a difference by not having the heating on for long periods. :y note if you are a british gas dual fuel customer you can get it done for free !!

Yes - just had mine done - all tanks and pipes relagged, had about 3 inches of loft insulation before now 2 thick extra layers so maybe 10 inches or so.

Clearing loft was a nightmare- starting to assess what goes back in after first cull we did a couple of weeks ago. What to do with my vinyl collection which has not seen light of day for over 20 years?Also had cavity wall insulation done.

Sell them on ebay - you might be surprised how much you may get for them..............I sold one of my scratchy old lp's for £40 (gracious......that's the band) to a collector in russia.
Old King Crimson records are highly collectable items as well  :y

I have two lofts, one of which is the boarded storage area, I'm thinking of putting Celotex or Kingspan between the rafters to make up for lack of insulation.

Excellent stuff, but blooming expensive  :o

Not to bad from a good merchants but it is pricey at the DIY sheds.

There are also a few companies selling on ebay with good prices and delivery
