I saw some insulation in B&Q which was covered with polythene, which might
get over the itching problem, not sure about costs.

Its not much better, and lots more cash.

That depends. I'm really sensitive to the fibres in glassfibre and
Rockwool insulation. I installed some as extra insulation in my old
house and for me it was much more pleasant to handle. I also found it a
fair bit easier to install over the old insulation, presumably because
the plastic /foil slips easier over the old stuff.
