Loft insulation and cracking ceilings

The local council are offering free loft insulation - subject to less than 60mm being in place already - but having just had some ceilings overboarded, and spent time painting, then months later repairing cracks, and re-painting, I am concerned that insulation fitters in the loft will bounce around and crack the ceilings. Is this likely or rare? Most rooms are no more than 3.5m by 3.5m but one is 5m long.

    It shouldn't affect your ceiling. And even ifit does crack it slightly does it matter? You are getting your loft insulated which has the potential to save hundreds of pounds a year in heating bills. A small price to pay I think.
