Thank you for your detailed response. I've been looking around today. And looks like the loft caps are the best where I can put the insulation on top. Which also avoids cutting gaping holes in the new insulation. thank you

Does anyone know the best product to cover these lights. I'd prefer ones you don't have to cut the insulation. Just put the covers on and insulation goes over. One of the links is for loft caps, but not sure it's a selling site. Those stall boxes I think you still have to cut the insulation...

It wasn't really an explanation though was it? The company who are fitting have said they will just cut 4 inch holes around each light. So I thought I would check myself. I will have a read of the info you sent.

Why are some people so rude on here??? I'm trying to make an informed decision. So I come on here to ask a question, The you get people like you. I'm not going to folk out £200 unless I know why I'm doing it and if it's the correct route to go down. That's why I asked if you could cut...

Thank you all for your replies. Think I will be giving MDF a try. Thanks Leanne

Thank you for your reply. A joiner is coming in to do it for us. He suggested ply wood as he already has some off cuts. But I found that a pain to paint last time we had that (took loads of coats and looked quite cheap) wasn't sure if mdf or ply wood was good with poss condensation from hot...

Hi I hope you can help.... What is the best thing to box in central heating pipes? I want it to look really tidy and be able to paint over it well. Many thanks
