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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
