One from the 'grapevine' - half price loft insulation from Friday 4th Nov. Will be on for a couple of days, maybe more. Should be online and in store.

Good deal if you can't get your energy company to sub the cost - which usually involves a 6 month wait.
If you do double up, just make sure you lay the second layer at a right angle to the first, and check for condensation after you've laid it.
If you have a cold tank in the loft, make sure you insulate it and lag the pipes appropriately, otherwise, BIG costs. Often better to leave directly under the tank uninsulated - if you can't find a suitable solution.

can anyone tell me what the recommended depth for loft insulation is? I have just bought an old house and the surveyor mentioned it only has between 50 - 100 mm.

building regulations state a depth of 270mm, but that is for new build properties, but 200mm will achieve a U value of 0.20W/m2.

Unless you love the external walls look , see about insulating the external walls.Insulating the loft is the cheapest way to go but seen some lovely insulated and rendered walls lately ... http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-insulation/solid-wall

200 minimum, get some more down or pay higher heating bills forever.

looks like if you buy 5 or more you get to pay an extra 6 pound a roll lol

Yep :disappointed: Bit annoying really as it'd be good to stack the up to £30 off £75 to bring it down even more.

Check with your local council you may be able to get a grant for 75% of the cost ( i used to sell loft insulation and other energy products years ago) buy some paper overalls as this stuff itches like the clappers

Double up on the 100mm stuff. Works out at £2.50 per m in total, compared to over £5.00 per m for the 200mm stuff.

A government run company came and did ours and cavity walls for free. Worth going that route
