I have an old 60 year old house that has a raised timber ground floor
above a concrete floor. The void is aprox 3 ft.

Traditionally you would fill this with hardcore and then a layer of
concrete, to form a new floor.

But my wife insisted on getting laminate flooring ontop of the T&G and
beams, and I do not want to lift that.

Is there any other way of insulating the floor void. I have thought
about injecting cavity wall insulation.

Any ideas or suggestions that the regulations people would accept ???

I went under mine and used 1 of 2 techniques

1) rockwall held in place with plastic mesh - horrid job to do

That's what's deterring me. Maybe measure up and put the rockwool into
polythene tubes, then seal the ends before fitting. That would reduce
most of the unpleasant effects.

2) polysyerine cut and wedged in.

Lot's of potential for ill fitting and pipework obstructions here.

I would use kingspan if I did it again.

Looks good, haven't made a price comparison.
