Many thanks. Brilliant example of what to do and your chatting throughout was very easy to follow and understand. Just what I needed. Now feel confident to do it myself 🙂

Mark I really enjoyed your video. It's great how you talk right the way through explaining every little problem and your thoughts. So keep up the good work. A question: Would the insulation boards not get loose over time? Also would you not have cut the boards a couple of mm bigger for interference fit? You might find it a bit easier if you get hold of a couple of saw horses and a timber board for support.

Appreciate the feedback and additional information. Useful and helpful. The insulation board is stable and won't shrink or expand so it shouldn't fall out. However, there is also still foil tape to apply and there will be a further layer of insulation plasterboard underneath. So it can't drop once that is in place. If you can mease just a couple of mm too big it should be possible to wack it home so that would help. Thanks again. Mark

I have a question. Are you insulating the whole way down the rafters or will you insulate between the hangers there that are supporting them. Also, If you had lower cable ties across the top. WOuld you insulate over them or run the whole way up the rafters only.??

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Building inspector said I could do either. I'm going all the way down to the bottom of the rafters where they meet the plate. Because I want to have cupboards between the hangers. I wasn't sure what you meant about the cable ties? Let me know?

[@johncarrigan9352]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Apologies, I meant collar ties. Im currently about to start this and there would be large volumes of air behind the hangers and above the collar ties. This could be good for air circulation ...but it could also be bad perhaps?

If you get more experienced, you wont need a hammer, just a thought 👍

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Yeah thanks for that. It's a beginner's guide...and I'm a beginner. Just starting out, no expert.
