Hi there,
Looking at increase wall and attic instulation in in-laws house. Have gotten two quotes and both recommended blown insulation for the attic and beads for the walls.
At present there is approx 80mm of existing fibre instulation between the joists so the idea is to blow-in enought celulose to bring it to 300mm for the grant.
Both suppliers confirmed there is no cause for concern with blowing the installation right in but I am wondering if there is any danger regarding electrical wiring? The house is a single storey 1980's bungalow so there are lots of wires for lights (no recess), alarm, tv aerials, phone lines up there. Some of the wires are currently running across the top of the joists and some are in-between?
Appreciate any feedback.
