Tomfe you are right, Its a facilities company they are on the installer approved list https://ciga.co.uk/registered-installers/ I suspect they have the authorisation to claim this grant on the room in roof scheme and are probably doing 4 a day to get the money in. I ain't paying directly, we...

I have had my pitched roof insulated with boards. They have cut them and slid them up between the beams but there are gaps between the board and the beams. the gap to me seems like the boards are then a waste of time. I have read a few threads on here saying fill any gaps with foam but these...

Yes you are correct KenGMac. And thanks I did wonder as I knew the heat could really only go as far as the other bedroom. Now my next q is. On the other side of the house is a bathroom and the paint on the roof is flaking and have been told this is condensation on the roof but I always open...

I would like info and suggestions on getting insulation between my downstairs and my bedrooms up stairs. I can see in the gap but how can I force the insulation into the gap? From one side to the other is 3m. The pink is the wool and the gap is shown where the size is written. Or do I need...

Cheers folks. I am really using it as a filler/finnisher as I know I wont be good at bonding then finnish but I really just thought I was doing something wrong. Cheers again.

It says 7.5 l water for the 12.5 kg bag so just divided it up! Magic. bought from B and Q so dont know how long on shelf! Will the stuff I put up be OK or will it be affected by it being off.
