So I guess if you take up the floorboards, strictly speaking it's
notifiable. I wouldn't bother, and I bet nobody has.

Hasn't it to be more than 25% of the element to be notifiable? You did some
last year and some the year before etc. didn't you?

Yes, but it's 25% of that element, not of all the elements of that
type in the house. ie if you expose more than a quarter of the floor
in one room. It's all academic anyway, who the hell is going to notify
Building Control if they're insulating a floor, and what are Building
Control going to do anyway, tell you to take it out again? Really not
worth worrying about.
