Hi Katia

Wednesday afternoon works better for me as I will have some help in moving the bookcase from my wife. Does Wednesday pm say 2.30 work, if that is convenient for you.

Hi Sarah,

The company we used was these guys, if memory serves:  http://www.ecologistics.co.uk/

I say if memory serves because I don't have the paperwork to hand but I'm almost certain it was them.  They were fine--the price was okay and they dealt with our very dodgy ceiling plasterwork as well as could be hoped (they had to cut a new hatch to access the front of the house and did so without bringing the ceiling down).  And they're nearby.

The reason I asked you to PM me rather than me just posting it generally was that we only went through them for the insulation.  The guy who insulated the loft (I think his name was Arek, but he's not in my contacts folder anymore) did the boarding as a side job on the weekend (he could also organize a loft light through an electrician friend but we had this sorted).  He was a decent guy who did a good job, but sorry I can't give you any more info than this.  We discovered that you shouldn't board over too much of the insulation (at least without building up the joists a fair bit, which gets pricy) because compressing it reduces its insulating ability.  But even with boarding over a healthy amount of the loft in the front part of our house  things are noticeably warmer.

Best,

Michael
