I'm loath to make a recommendation until after the job is done well, I'll PM you the guy's name in the meantime. We've ended up bringing someone in to do it, although I initially wanted to just hire the sander from that place in Catford. I didn't trust my DIY skills to do the insulation though.

insulated under my kitchen floor but took all boarding off / entire floor up and used solid insulation (which has worked a treat). I nailed batons across the underneath of existing joists and laid the cut insulation across these batons and between the joists after cutting it to correct width. Filled-in any gaps with expanding foam.

From an OCD perspective, I don't see how you can guarantee EVERY gap will be insulated if you do the job without taking up the entire floor, but I'm no expert so perhaps clever people do know a way. For me I wanted no question about coverage and no cold spots.

    • Hi all My car was stolen between 1.30pm-1.50pm today in SE22 East Dulwich in South East London. I have of course reported this to the police but not much is being done, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The registration is GM66YOV, though its possible the licence plate may have been changed by now. If you see it anywhere please contact me or the police. Thankyou!
    • Years ago, got my ears pierced, alcohol on site, gun ..done.. Simple.. Gosh, surely your daughter of mothers can recommend  - do you really need to post on forum? Or maybe you home school whatever.. still recovering from shock, posted along the lines of, advice needed about adopting/ buying a dog…. Guess I am now at a age, where I should just keep quiet and pass no comment and read  postings like a “soap” - cheaper than tv licence…                    
    • Looking for a wrought iron bench with wooden slats in need of restoration - something like this.
    • I would'nt go locally I'd go to Maria Tash in Liberty..it'll be more expensive but they will do a good job and its their buisness not a 'sideline' to other beauty offerings. https://www.mariatash.com/store-locations/maria-tash-london-liberty?srsltid=AfmBOoqMz7Ev-4YqzrlkePX0n3i5JbiggGYSR9kU5z1p_ajP_jjQKqlt I have no experience of piercing at Polished but I went in to enquire about a manicure and I found the staff attitude pretty rude, looking me up and down when I walked in and just giving off a bad attitude like they just could'nt be bothered maybe because I'm not a glam 30 something? I dont know.
