Good answer. A look on Ebay will tell you chain winch is very cheap. Bolt
to the rafers and pull up. Boy some people here are dumb.

Apparently so.... they might end up with a landing full of tiles and a
large hole in the roof if they follow that advice!

That just makes the job easier ;-) Tie a rope to the 170kg lump, throw
rope over roof. One bloke climbs ladder with 170kg lump on his back
while another two pull on rope on other side of house. When 170kg lump
reaches hole in roof drop through the convenient hole.

At this point the 170kg lump may fall through the ceiling but that's a
minor problem.
