A nearby wooden bungalow was refurbished and the insulation improved

the stuff on the outside of Grenfell tower that burns at high

I have considered putting some Celotex in my attic and then covering
it with thin plywood so that I could walk on it but I have rather
gone off the idea, though if the house catches fire badly, I am
unlikely to want to go in the attic.



I covered mine (80%) in plasterboard.

If inadequately enclosed insulation board is the problem

It isnt.

Te problem is inflammable decorative cladding applied over the
(fireproof) insulation

I can see all
sorts of problems ahead. On the house reproofing I've seen, celotex is
fixed between the joists against the internal plasterboard with no
covering to the outside.


And how many house fires have we had since celotex became de facto roof
insulation?

More than enough to raise alarms if celotex was an issue
