I've seen that rafter roll on a different thread: http://www.space-insulation.com/rafter-roll.html Which looks good, but is around £48 a roll - for the 85mm stuff, which is about 5.5m^2 and has a U value of 2.65. To be honest though, whats the difference between that and space blanket...

That Rafter Roll looks good, but has anyone seen it anywhere? For the flooring, might also be worth considering the loft boards with a big wodge of insulation glued to the bottom that B&Q have been doing?

B&Q were doing the knauf stuff last time I looked before Christmas - think it was around £20 for a pack of 4. They were also doing their own make tongue & groove chipboard loft boards with a huge wedge of insulation glued to the base for £5 a board, which worked out cheaper - I've just done...

This is a drawing of what I'm working with.... I'm hoping this might prompt some responses! :D As I mentioned, the loft has been fully insulated, with the 100-200mm that was there originally, and 200mm space blanket on top laid at right angles. There is apparently sufficient ventilation in...

My god, I cannot believe the price of Celotex or even just polystyrene compared to rockwool / space blanket! :shock: I accept that roll insulation is being subsidised at the moment, but why not other types of insulation? Any cheaper options?? Should I rule space blanket / rockwool out??

We live in a chalet style dormer house, and therefore the first floor rooms are cut into the eaves. We also have a loft, which I've fully insulated. The first floor rooms are rather cold though in this freezing weather, and the heating (in the dormer window) in the main bedroom isn't...

Yes please!

We bought a early 1960's chalet style house a couple of months ago. On first viewing we were advised that there was significant cracking along 2 internal walls, however an engineers report had been produced to advise that this was not structural cracking. The floor had settled fairly early on...

Oh, and what kind of glue?

I've opened a couple of boxes, and there appear to be 3 lengths of wood in there, rather than them all being random, so it might lend itself to something! However you are right - they do have character and look like they'll make a fantastic floor!

OK will give gluing a shot! What kind of glue is it I'd use, and can I get it in smallish quantities from B&Q or somewhere similar for stuff like this? As I've sent the large vats of £80 a tub glue we got with the floor back... Now to a creative question.... These are the rooms I'm...

Another bone question or 2 I'm afraid - this one really is a cracker though! I know I'm using an underlay rather than glue now, but obviously the underlay isn't fastened down to anything. Whats to stop it (or sections of it) moving around under the floor and taking sections of the floor with...

The first 3 pics are the same wall, just in different states of undress or positions. I think pic 3 is worse than it looks in reality thanks to the flash. Does it need rebuilt? Hmm its not the best wall in the world lets put it that way, but it is stable. My guess based on the other wall is...
