70s bungalow.
I am currently topping up the insulation on the loft floor, putting a
new layer over the manky old stuff.

The Wickes leaflet also recommends insulating the underside of the
roof, by use of polystyrene blocks in between the roof timbers. They
also sell aluminium foil stuff for the same job. A side effect is that
it will also cut down on dust blown into the loft.

Is this overkill for a loft which is just used for storage purposes.
All pipes etc. are lagged and it seemed warm enough when I was up there
last evening!

But how cold is it in winter. Doubt if you can have too much insulation so
I'd do it but remember you need to leave 50mm airgap above the insulating
blocks.
