Hi, all... hoping for some pointers here since it seems to be a
minefield of confusing insulation.

I'm having a re-roof. Building regs. say I've got to increase my loft
insulation (currently zero) to the 280mm recommendation.

I've just about given up on the idea of boarding some of the loft space
for storage - seems too tricky nowadays.

I've had conflicting comments about the wiring in the loft - whether I
can/can't put insulation over it. So, does anyone have any advice, or
better still concrete links to information.
- Can I run the insulation on top of existing wiring
- What about junction boxes on the loft floor (for the lighting circuits
below) - Coucil suggested these are the main fire risk ("40,000 house
fires so far...")
- Can wiring run along the top of the joist, along the insides of the
joist, or lifted to lie on top of the insulation.

Any other issues/comments?
