We've got one of the energy companies coming to my father's house to
survey for free loft insulation. Anyone know how deep it should be
when they've finished?

It is as deep as what they said it would be.

They haven't said anything yet: they're *coming out* to do a survey.

I would like to know what they should say before they say it so I can
assess their suitability for doing the job...

I've got flush-mounted ceiling lights in some bedrooms, and the loft
insulation has been cut away over these fittings - presumably because
of the rising heat from the lamps. So I cannot seal all gaps...

I believe current buidling regulations require 280mm.

As it happens, we've just been looking into this as our loft has no
insulation at present. Wickes have a 2 for 1 offer on some loft
insulation with free delivery. We are doing our 6x7m loft to 300mm
depth for £244 using space blankets (glass wool in polythene bags).

If you have none you can probably get a grant for it to be done free, check
with your energy companies to see what they are offering.
