bugger it, went through all the rigramole of applying for this warm front
thingy, the bungalow i'm renting has no insulation at all over the
stairwell, top is open the the roof space which is standard buitumin type
lining over the rafters, and concrete tiles on the top side, same with there
a built in wardrobe was put into one of the bedrooms... is a dormer
bungalow, badly converted in the 70's i believe.

anyway, before i even applied for the warm front thing, i asked them if
there's a record of this place having some work done by them or a similar
scheem before, as there is one single spot where there's a double layer of
pink insulation, about 1/6th of the total roof space, everywhere else
there's the standard 70's yellow insulation that's well below the celing
joists... and of course no insulation at all in places.

they said they couldent tell me anything till i applied, but from my
description it wasnt a warm front type scheem that paid for the work, as
they'd never leave area's uninsulated and never do part of a job, all or
nothing they said.

so i apply, have to prove im entitled to it, get someone out to look round
who agrees it cant have been warm front who did the half arsed job of
insulating only part of the loft,

got a phone call today, in 2002 cavity wall insulation and loft insulation
was done by the scheem that ran before warm front, and as the records say
loft insulation has been installed here, i cant have anymore, even tho i
told them the loft is not insulated at all in places, a classic 'computer
says no' situation.

they said the last person living here must have taken the insulation with
him or something!!! if he did he left absolutely no trace of the pink stuff,
and why leave a part intact.

warmfront told me there may be other scheems available to me that can do the
loft insulation 'properly'

i'm wondering about these £195 loft insualtion things you see advertised in
tesco and the like, dont they use a goverment grant to pay for the main
cost of soemthing?? would they be using warmfront of are there other 'grant'
things to properly insulate this place.
