Rockwool Flexi is what I have recently installed in ground floor, with the help of my odd-job man.

Available from Jewson's in Peckham. Buy 'depth' to suit your joists (it comes in different depths and widths.


Method:

lift the floorboards

clean out any builder's debris

use garden netting and staple gun to create 'bed' of netting between joists to hold the Flexi (staple into top of each joist)

cut and fit Rockwool Flexi (easy). The material flexes to fit between the joists, and the netting is really just a 'just in case'

replace floorboards

fit hardboard over the floorboards, and staple down into the floorboards

tape around each hardboard joint, including joins with skirting


This solution means you have insulation for radiation, for draughts... i.e. it covers all the angles. Unlike other products, Rockwool Flexi is specifically designed to fit to suspended ground floors (which is what I assume you have).


Ah, just remembered, you are installing wooden flooring. Then you don't need the hardboard. But the recommendation for Rockwool Flexi still stands.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
