OK - I'm getting the impression that the consensus is that this isn't a good idea. What I'm not understanding is why. The rockwool is fairly old and, even if it was 270mm (which is the requirement for 0.16W/m2K) when it was laid, it's unlikely to be that now. If 140mm of celotex gives the...

I don't really want to use the risers and the alternative is to take off the rolls of rockwool covering the joists and then just leave behind the stuff in between. Then we'd be nowhere close to having the correct amount - at least with the celotex we'd have a decent level of insulation - with...

Hi, We would like to board out our loft for storage, but it's currently got a huge chunk of rockwool covering all of the joists. I'm aware you can get risers for the joists, but we're a bit limited in height so I've started looking at replacing all the rockwool with celotex, so I can just board...

Hi, I think my actuator is faulty - basically when the programmer is turned on but neither hot water or heating on the actuator moves to the heating position and the boiler fires up. Turn the programmer off and the actuator can be freely moved to HW and mid positions all ok. It returns back...
