A bit of organised chaos this morning - but it all worked out OK. The electrician ws on site by 9.00 - not sure when he arrived though? He didn't have his mate with him though - so things will take a bit longer. The builder turned up just after 9 with his 3 workers ready for putting in the insulation - but they had to wait a while for the electrician to finish one room .
The kitchen fitter also arrived around 9.00 to check if the plumbers had left enough room for the built in oven. The electrician got me worried yesterday - saying it wouldn't fit.
I was a bit confused about exactly where all the insulation and plasterboard were going to be fitted - so I had to make a quick visit to the builders merchant to check what his plans were for the stuff he sent. We had discussed it - but it seems a long time ago now. Also there were some nails missing form the delivery yesterday that I had to pick up.
So - the final plan is - Kingsan TP10 between rafters (80mm) , TW52 under rafters (38mm), 200mm glass wool above the ceiling in the loft bedrooms with foil backed plasterboard underneath. Then - 150mm glass wool in the stud dwarf walls with normal plasterboard. All the stud walls between the upper rooms will just be plasterboard - no insulation.
The roof void outside the livable space upstairs wil have 200mm glass wool between joists. I might put another layer of it on later.
Hopefully this will proove to be more than enough insulation. It is one of the most expensive materials for the house. There is still some more to go in - under the ground floor screed in a few weeks. (I still have to sort out someone to do that.)
