Loft insulation

[Bobbybingham08]

Hi there

I was wondering where the cheapest place to get 200mm rolls of loft insulation from ? I need them to increase an epc rating and b and q are charging £19.00 a roll! any ideas would be appreciated as I need to buy about 20 rolls.

About the going rate I paid £19 a roll for 200mm and £17 for 170mm in wickes

You missed the recent, and long, B&Q offer! Buy 3 or more rolls and they were £15.50 each!

Another couple of months and they'll be on clearance. Hardly anyone buys insulation when they're not cold.

I only use the mineral wool treated with Ecose, which doesn't shed irritant dust and fibres. I've had problems with the old yellow fibreglass.

The Ecose product is brown and soft. It's made by Knauf but is also packaged as an own-brand, but you will see the "Ecose" flash on the packaging.

As i recall, it does still say Knauf somewhere on the packaging. It's infinitely nicer to work with than the horrible yellow stuff, as far as loft insulation goes...!

I bought some more from the builders merchant, it was cheaper as you got more coverage in the pack.

Thank you do you remember which one ? I’ve seen Homebase is doing the 200mm rolls for 15.50 a roll! In my opinion these should cost about 5 quid a roll to buy seeing that they are recycled materials. The cost of bustling materials is getting ridiculous last 5 years or so. Wonder if we will get cheaper materials post Brexit ?

Building not bustling

PGR I'm not sure if they are national, it was the knauf insulation.

I think if anything they will go the other way, and increase by 10-20%

Wonder if we will get cheaper materials post Brexit ? - do you think anything will be cheaper post Brexit ? I don't think so ! I would think there will be scope for prices to be increased on all sorts of things !

Brexit is the end of the world, everyone knows that.

Rather than worrying about some poxy loft insulation, or would be much better to sort out some leathers, soup up that old Mondeo and start organising membership of a suitable local marauding gang.

Some of the Brextremists claim that the Incredible Shrinking Pound is a good thing because it will make our exports dirt cheap for the buyers.

Of course, that will mean that you'll need more pounds to pay for whatever you buy that is imported, and any tariffs or extra costs will be on top.

Steel will be cheaper if we go open-borders, and we can use the money we save to support our redundant steelworkers.
