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.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
