Put cardboard boxes on it, I take it I need an air gap as well ?

Thanks for the reply, bear with me here, to avoid removing the rock wool could I not just lie 100mm kingspan on top of it ? You are of course spot on probably only need a couple of meteres squared space for all our stuff.

We have moved into a house which used to have a flat concrete roof. This was changed to a pitched roof, and the whole loft space insulated with rock wool ie no joists. We are now in the process of moving all the shart from the garage into the loft. I believe I am right in saying if I lay boxes...

Off to another forum, thanks for the pointer ive bought a 3m half face mask with p3 cartridges for the dust though, which a few people have said will be fine.

Balls ok, so I take it I can buy those plastic feet make a basic wooden frame and cover the frame with the standard interlocking loft boards ?

So do I need a false floor on top of the insulation ? Its a bit of a mare as there are no joists with a concrete floor

Thank you, how thick would the kingspan have to be to match 6 inches of fibreglass ? cheers

Hello just purchased a house which used to have a flat roof but was converted to pitched, and as a consequence has 6 inches of fibreglass lying on what used to be the old concrete roof. I really want to board this out and ideally remove the fibreglass. As I have no joists, can I remove all the...

Thats great so basically its not mould but more than likely left by an insect as yet unnamed. The joist to be fair can be easily replaced, which is what I intended to do, just didn't want to have spores all over the place. Cheers

Not that I can see, my friend touched a one and it broke apart into dust, I cant see, it does look like this peice of wood is riddled with wood worn though. Cheers Mark

Hello I have moved house and acquired an extended garage set about clearing it out and found on one poor looking roof joist brown spherical balls, which I thought were resin from the wood but one of my mates touched a one and it disintegrated into powder. The wood also looks bad with wood worn...
