Barrier mesh like the bright orange plastic netting stuff? Cheers

Looking to open up this chimney breast to sink a 100cm range master into it. Have just taken off some render to see what I’m dealing with and a bit worried the current chimney breast is being held up by 2x2’s.. There seems to be a fairly large concrete block propped up by some timber, on top...

Been looking at the loft roll route for insulation, seems some people are using a roofing membrane over netting, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks

Got it, thanks for explaining. Would it be best to do this to every joist (both sides of the dwarf wall running down the centre of the room) or would every other work just as well? Suspect more = better.. Presumably if I lay DPM sheet with 50mm concrete over the whole area, it won’t be...
