Which loft insulation?
- Thread starter Koolpc
- Start date
Recommended thickness 270mm rock or glass wool equivalent.
Glass wool treated with Ecose cuts down on dust and irritation when handling.
B and Q currently seem to have decent prices for Knauf Eko Roll:
Don't block any ventilation at the eaves.
Before laying new insulation, it may be a good idea to clear out the existing and use an industrial vacuum to clean up what's underneath.
Wear appropriate PPE when cleaning old and laying new - FFP3 mask, gloves and coveralls are a very good idea!

Had the same problem a few years ago and bought a couple of rolls of this:- https://www.superfoil.co.uk/vapour-control-multi-foil-insulation/. I used the SF19 and laid on top of existing 4 inch woolly stuff. So easy to lay and take up if you ever need to although perhaps a tad more expensive than the orange woolly stuff.
