    Note there is a limitation of 100 metres square per household. Even so it's still a good deal.

    I bought 11x8m2 rolls of 170mm "carbon zero" insulation from homebase earlier this year for £5 a roll (now £10 i see with a 100m2 per customer limitation) for a 2-bed bungalow to top up existing insulation. Still not laid it though - too much junk to clear out still! If i'd waited i'd have saved £30 so paid double..oh well!

    Anyway to pre-empt the "how do i fit it" there is a guide here

    Also just found an excellent site from Knauf Insulation here - if you goto "upgrade your home" in the loft insulation there is another installation guide and a video too.

    Anyway hope that helps and don't forget to buy a suitable face mask.. cutting equipment = kitchen knife but don't tell the OH!

    p.s. lindos: ours took 2 car journeys to collect (mini-MPV with back seats down)..different sized rolls to the nPower/building centre deal though but gives you a rough idea if you want to buy in advance.

    A big thankyou to the OP on this thread, I am not sure why somebody else decided to start another thread about this offer, anyway, this was the first and original thread, so my thanks go to stephana.

    Well done... :T
  • I have not proceeded with the order yet as a £15 delivery charge has been added. Anyone else get this - Method of dispatch: Our transport £15. I assume it is because I don't have an account or my nearest build center is 50 miles away, but it doesn't have any explanation.
    It is still a good price with the delivery charge, but it states 'free delivery'.
    The credit card page doesn't look very secure, anyone ordered by phone?

    Try again, I just did a dummy run and it showed transport as £0.00.

    Did you tick the boxes as required?.

    I can confirm that the site is secure.
