Managed to finish off the loft. And its massive. In filled the ceiling joists with 90 and 75mm insulation, topped with ply, then another 50mm of insulation before fitting another layer of ply on top. Yo can feel the heat billed up, its baking.
Before we did this we had to lay the lighting cables, otherwise we would have had difficulty in accessing the wiring once all the insulation and ply had been fitted.
Leave the loft opening quite large in case we
decide to plasterboard the walls. Nothing worse than trying to struggle up with
big sheets of board through a tight hole.

By late April we moved on to fitting the internal walls,
including nailing in 10mm OSB to stop racking through strong winds.

Use a mixture of HEP2O plastic fittings , but 22mm copper for the flow and return piping.
When you compare speed of fitting and cost of materials the push fit plastic system wins hands down. The only down side could be how quickly it degrades. From all account the Hep2O system is foolproof and comes with a very long warranty.
