There should be a 50mm gap between the top of the insulation and the bottom of the loft boards to prevent condensation.

Helpful video. Would you say standing on joists is fine or would you recommend leaning on boards ?

It is a wonder that the highly qualified architect took this into consideration when (s)he did the calculations.

I didn't know that a regular wooden UK ceiling joist could support the same weight as a flooring joist... all the extra framework around the former water tank was there for a load-bearing reason.

How did you keep the insulation off the cables or do you just let them get hot?

I see the mouse trap, the mouse will be warm this Christmas...

did you put the insulation down the edges/sides of the loft?

Don’t tear the insulation squash with 2x4 then cut with knife that’s what plumes the dust into the air

Imagine doing this every day and, above all, removing 10 to 15 years old insulation
