• Insulating the Loft

• 1. General
  a. Checking existing insulation level
  b. Check insulation to be added reaches desired level
  c. Confirmation of regulation depth being 270mm after install
  

• What to do if loft is empty

• 2. What to do if the loft is empty
  a. Safely lay the fibre between joists, leaving no gaps
  b. Ensure 2" space between top edge of the fibre and the felt at the eaves
  c. Awareness required that the fibre must reach the wallplate (top of inner wall)
  d. Correctly stagger the thickness of the fibre from the wall plate, where required
  e. Identify initial lay as 100mm at wall plate, and where practiacable install the required level of insulation to prodcue the necessary depth and ventilation requirements
  f. Safely ensure all eaves are clear of any obstructions
  g. Safely fit wedges to all lofts with felt, in the lowest possible position
  h. Safely cut fibre on joists width or length where required
  i. Be aware to cut away from yourself to avoid injury
  j. Be aware to check for electric cables which could be severed
  

• What to do if loft has existing insulation

• 3. What to do if loft has existing insulation
  a. Be aware to check existing fibre is between the joists
  b. Be aware existing fibre is not to be left over the joists, as this creates a void
  c. Safely cut in existing fibre if required to lay directly on the ceiling
  d. Be aware to raise electric cables above insulation wherever possible
  e. Safely identify high ampage cables (cooker and shower)
  f. If unable to raise cables an air space must be created to prevent overheating
  g. Be aware requirements state a minimum of 3" away from the cables
  h. Be aware high ampage rule also applies to clusters of low amp cables
  i. Safely identify position of downlighters and transformers
  j. Safely identify position of flues and metal chimneys
  k. Be aware requirements state a minimum of 3" clear space all round to prevent overheating
  

• Existing Boards

• Existing boards
  a. Safely lay insulation across boards only if they are screwed down and not be easily moved
  b. Safely raise the boards using a claw hammer or crow bar only if loose or sparingly nailed
  c. Safely ensure walkways are kept clear to allow for access to pipes and tanks
  d. Be aware if client doesn't allow for the lifting of existing boards or for insulation to cover them the job is to be cancelled, unless completely self funded
  e. Cross laying of different thicknesses fibres can only take place when existing material is within 1" of the top of the joist, and is specified on the survey

• Pipework

• 1. General
  a. Always safely insulate using the correct wall width lagging throughout the entire length of the pipe
  b. Safely ensure pipe wrap is used on clusters of pipes
  c. Safely and carefully remove existing lagging unless it meets required standards
  d. If required standards are met, safely secure existing with tape where required
  e. Safely and carefully handle all pipework to avoid likelihood of causing a leak
  f. Safely remove old insulation with care
  g. Identify any solar panel pipe, plastic pipe and microbore pipe. They must all be insulated correctly
  h. Identify any overflow gas and unused pipes. They are NOT to be insulated
  i. Safely and correctly tape pipe lagging using the tape supplied by the company securely in the following manner:
  - Where 2 pieces of pipe butt together
  - Any joints
  - Any bends
  - And at a distance no no more than 1m apart on straight runs of pipework
  j. For 90˚ joints or bends, the lagging can be either mitred or butted safely using a stanley knife or junior hacksaw
  k. For slighter bends bend the lagging around the pipe ensuring that there are no gaps and it is taped correctly
  l. For pipes joined at 90˚ the lagging must either be "Butt" or "V" jointed and in both cases must be securely taped
  m. Be aware of the 2 options available to you when pipework is attached to joists and impossible to get lagging around
  - Either cover the pipes with pipe segments and then staple to the joists
  - Cut lagging longitudinally so that it covers the pipe and sits on the joist then securley tape and staple to the joist
  n. If there are too many pipes situated closely together and are impossible to conventially lag, safely wind in pipe wrap and tape securely
  

• 2. Pipes laying on top of existing fibre or joists
  a. Safely lay new insulation quilt directly over the top of them, providing the air gap formed between the layers of the quilt is only the depth of the pipe (to a maximum of 28mm)
  b. Be aware if the pipe is held by a raised clip and the space is over 28mm you must use pre formed pipe insulation
  c. Safely insulate all valves up to the handle ensuring the handle remains accessible for easy operation
  d. Open vent pipes should be lagged through the tank lid insulation. This is to ensure any water from the open vent pipe goes into the tank, and not over the ceiling
  

• Fitting a jacket on a cold water tank

• a. Safely follow the following procedure:
  - Removal of all old tank lagging material
  - If applicable ensure existing tank lid fits correctly
  - Safely fit insulation skirt around the body of the tank ensuring that correctly secured ribbons (tightly tied) are supplied and situated approx. 3-4" from both the top and bottom of the tank
  - Safely ensure that any cuts in the skirt for pipework outlet and inlet pipes are securley taped, to prevent loss of insulation material and further tearing
  - Safely locate tank lid insulation in situ prior to securing for the purpose of correctly sighted holes being cut into the insulation (with the rim of all holes being taped to prevent further tearing or loss of insulation
  - Safely ensure that the tank lid insulation is supported to prevent it falling into the tank either by:
  i. Utilising an existing tank lid securely fitted to the top of the tank or:
  ii. Safely pulling tight the insulation lid and tape to the skirt at 2 diagonal corners with 3 - 4" pieces of adhesive tape
  - Once you can safely confirm either of these processes have been followed you can:
  i. Tuck the 2 end leaves of the lid insulation between the tank and side skirt insulation
  ii. Making sure it is safely secured by the existing correctly tied ribbons
  

• Upon completion

• a. Safely check and confirm all ribbons and tapes are secure
  b. Safely check all pipework is correctly insulated around the tank
  c. Confirm that there is no insulation material in contact with or in the vicinity of the tank
  

• Post-installation checks

• a. Safely ensure all ventilation requirements are met
  b. Check all survey details are carried out correctly
  c. Safely ensure that the loft is tidy
  d. Safely collect and remove all installation debris for disposal at the depot
  e. Confirm all paperwork is present and completed as required and stapled into the rafters of the joists
  f. Draught proof all loft hatches using company recommended practice
