Fingers crossed I did all my maths correctly and this is enough to insulate under the floors of the lounge and dining room.

This is what my lounge and dining room look like at the moment: https://mastodon.me.uk/@amcewen/116289463595472043

Obviously you don't need to do both at once, but I think you'd really want to be able to clear the room before tackling it.

Which is why I'm doing all this before I actually move in

I found that from @seanhood's reply to @coldclimate's thread https://hachyderm.io/@coldclimate/115895254945568678

I have a very extensive, old larch floor, which could do with insulation under it ..

Seems the skirting boards were last removed in 1993 - the lounge done in July (with the Echo) and the dining room in August (with Today, a newspaper I'd completely forgotten about)

Floorboards all up in both the lounge and the dining room. Still got to finish digging out the old fireplace in the dining room, and then I can start laying the breathable membrane for the insulation.

I've noticed a small reduction in the flow temperature with the extra insulation which is nice.

Looks like Celtic Sustainables would've been a little bit cheaper than https://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/ but the latter do have a very detailed guide to doing the install, so I don't begrudge them the extra too much. Will keep CS in mind for any extras I need though (and/or when I get to insulating the loft)

This insulation will be hemp-and-jute, so hopefully also not too itchy

Can even buy single rolls should it be needed. I love the sheep's wool insulation as soft and no itching.
