I had the loft reinsulated yesterday(cant diy it meself due to health).
this morning I gets a bath, gets out the bath grabs the large(brand
spanking new),towel hanging behind the door and finds three decent size
blood stains on it.

One of loft Insulators must have cut themselves and used the sodden towel
instead of the toilet rolls.

Grrrrrr!

If it's sodden, one should speak to the staff.

In a word............... NO

Just maximize profit and ***k the customer.

That is the business acumen of today.

Take the towel to the offices and ask them what they are going to do
about it.

They were working in the loft. There is usually a much more convenient water
receptacle up there.

Probably because the toilet roll was already up in the loft.

Why do loft insulators do that ? And why do they hide the turd under
the insulation ?

What's the insulation value of a turd?
Would it be to my advantage to replace my old glass wool with new
turds?
And what is the group recommended way of fixing them between the
joists?

This is going to be a real problem in superinsulated houses. How
will they be found then?

If brand-spanking new, how come ur towel was sodden? They should have asked
u first if they may visit the bathroom. Only one wounded culprit, I'll
warrant.
After all, they were only supposed to be in the loft via its hatch and
ladder (whose?) and using
linking passageways from outside door. (During their worktime, you may have
given them
carte blanche to visit the WC.)
If usage not sanctioned, you ought to demand replacement or compensation
from their foreman or manager...or did you appoint the insulation gang
yourself?
Er, where do you stand contents insurance-wise, all risks? Or alternatively,
will the liability be honoured by the workers' general insurance policy?

BTW, when were you knighted? Did those workers know you are "titled"?

Maybe its because I told them to leave the tool box in the hallway.
Why would a loft insulator/s bring in a tool box, beats me?

But you recently pronounced on how a washing machine should have its waste
plumbed in (wrongly) so obviously can squirrel around under a work surface?

Perhaps you need some better retainers? Or even a new truss?

I had cavity wall insulation installed on Wednesday 18 January.

Contractors damaged exterior telephone cables so few of my phones
worked. My Broadband was scuppered too.

My partner spent all of yesterday getting that put right.

Because you would be upset if they left it where you could see it.

A decent curry and you can spray it on. You can even do the inside of
the roof this way, a bit like the foam stuff you can spray on. After
all, nothing sticks like s**t!

I hope you did not come into contact with that blood dried or not. I'd
be very wary of coming into contact with anothers body fluids. You can
very easily catch some nasty diseases that way.

Report it to the company, in writing, cc'd to the MD. Telling them
that you are going to deduct the cost of new towel from their bill.

Just be thankful you're not being sued for leaving a dangerous object for

And look very carefully around the house for other bloodstains first;
the OP might get a new hall or bathroom carpet out of it.

I thought about that alas none stained which I find a bit odd, wonder if I
can sue for new loft insulation. ;-)

to the wall some 20 feet above the ground...
