Insulation Deals & Offers

I think it's most likely down to the people who have a sense of humour upvoting it... XD

A few cricket teams might be stocking up!

How has this even got hot? Only reduced by 2p and cheaper elsewhere and can be ordered online so you know if there's stock. https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/insulation-tape/cat850122#category=cat850122&sort_by=price Cold from me

B&Q Black Insulation Tape (l)30mm (w)19mm £1 Think you might want to change the length of the tape!

Think I might buy a few for the local cricket team

Always useful to put away :)

You do realise the weather will be back to normal in a few days and it'll be 10 degrees and rising? HUKD today has been nothing but companies trying to shift the last of their Winter stock :{

Poundland used to sell Thinsulate hats and gloves but last time I noticed they had ones with the tag "Thermal". I've been buying Thinsulate products since they appeared in the UK - think I first spotted them in C&A (!) in the mid 1980s.

Love my Thinsulate hat, might get the gloves. If they are as good as the hat, they will be good. Example of how good Thinsulate is - I can't wear my hat long, in slightly warmer times of the year, because my head gets too hot.

£2.47 for the hat now. Nice find bought the Gloves.

Deal is no longer there

Besides putting a carpet and underlay over bare floorboards on the first floor, any possibility of something light under the floorboards for sound and heat insulation? I think I know where my neighbours TV is below me.

No

I did my loft late last year with this stuff (they had the same offer back then), easy to uses as it is pre cut and wasn't really itchy.

Bought 3 of these, great stuff - only needed 2 though so returned one and got refunded £14.50 - so you can technically get 2 for £29 rather than the usual £32.

Blimey, I'm glad I got loads of the Knauf space blanket insulation (covered in mica foil) a few years ago for £5 a roll... those crazy days where energy supplies were subsidising every conceivable green energy saving device, CF lightbulbs for 10p each and such like. This seems like a decent deal though.

Well yeah, thats why I made a general comment, instead of replying to you... :)

probably not for a garden shed :)

Worth remembering... "Some energy providers are lowering the criteria for eligibility as they struggle to meet the targets. This means that most householders are now able to obtain free insulation measures." http://www.government-grants.co.uk/free-insulation

sure do you mean behind (say) plywood on battens etc, walls & ceiling? would work well NB also available in the great Homebase sell-off, about £11/ roll

We wrapped up a lad on his stag night in this and left him halfway along the M6 toll. He loved it and it cost less than a tenner for hours of enjoyment...

I bought this yesterday. Asked the Mrs. where she wanted it. "Pop it in the corner" she said. Twelve hours it took me!

With the winds we're having it's a new green house I need not insulation for one!

These are great fun for little ones to play with! They have them at my local sure start centre as part of their sensory play. Babies love the light it reflects and the crunchy sounds it makes. Fully supervised of course.

Bought four for our homeless sponsored sleep rough. Bargain. (y) 🏼

Do you have to add your own heat?

Just reminds me of Charles in Better Call Saul!

How many American spy drones do we get flying around Britain, and why would they be looking for you ? My thought is whether these would be useful for criminals avoiding police helicopter thermal imaging cameras, or even search and rescue if stuck on a mountain, when using them for their intended survival purpose ?

No such thing as a standard garage so you'd need the width x the length to get the area, then for building regs you'd need minimum depth of 270mm. If it's a cold roof you'll need to leave 50mm for ventilation. Your joists will not be that big so you'll need to use PIR or fill them with rockwool and then use insulated plaster board.

It's 14.99 at Wickes for the 100mm, minimum is one roll. Not cheaper but if you go on Mondays it's 12.75 any other day 13.39 with discount. But for the bigger thicnkesses this is a good price.

Be careful if external garage might have a problem with damp , see... http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=178755

Has this item a further discount using the trade card?

Yes, the idea is to fit this in beween the joists from the crawling space and hold tbem with netting.

I didn't say it did.

Doesn't apply to a single person without children.

Doesn't have to be a larger family. The 18k you refer to is actually without children.

PRAT

Or 42 hours a week on minimum wage. Potentially in a job that is zero hour contract or minimum guarantees hours so that the employer has to make little to no pension contribution. A single parent who works any number of hours in a week to support themselves deserves some help. Anyone who is trying to help themselves should be offered help in heating their home. It's a benefit to them, their families and the environment. At the end of the day anyone who is entitled to benefit and sees this 'deal' is trying to make the little they have go further so surely that deserves some positive reward. They're not at bargain booze or dealers corner spending it on cheap drink and crack. Not all benefit claimers are how they appear to be being portrayed by the mass media.

Yes, offer finished on Monday.

I was just in store this evening to collect my order from Monday, they had loads of rolls at the entrance but the price was up to £15 when you buy a certain quantity, I think it was 2 or more, so reckon it is £18 for one again now.

Does anyone know if this offer is still on. it's currently showing £18 online just wondering if it's the same instore.

sorry was out fitting it and rewiring etc etc. i think i would have got 6 in my car comfortably without measuring to find out which was best way to put them in. hyundai i30

Right, just ordered 10 rolls. Cheers OP. BTW for anyone else still to order - don't forget to use the 10% off discount code. It didn't work for me to start with - presumably because these are already on offer - but adding a full priced item (a 57p door knob in my case) made the code work and saved me £8.50 off after deducting the door knob cost. Oh and 1.1% TopCashback - every little helps :)

i just tried with my energy supplier and it says not eligibla as dont earn under £16k

​break building regs, that made me laugh, even a Victorian house should not be using kingspan or celotex between the floor joists, you should use natural materials, like hemp or lambswool.

​Unless you have a newer house (in which case you shouldn't need more insulation anyway) do not do that with standard insulation. Causes damp problems. You need to use a specific floor insulation (kingspan is the one I remember but there's a couple), designed for underfloor use, they insulate but don't get anywhere near as bad an issue with damp. By using inappropriate damp-proofing on main joists you can actually break building regs & invalidate insurance. I only know this cos my father in law suggested doing it in our victorian house so did some research & found a few horror stories & as such the correct way of doing it. Unfortunately the correct way is more expensive, but as opposed to potentially causing rot of your floor support joists, not so much in the long term!

Unless you love the external walls look , see about insulating the external walls.Insulating the loft is the cheapest way to go but seen some lovely insulated and rendered walls lately ... http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-insulation/solid-wall

the 200mm version is £20 a roll if you bought 5 or more, works out at £3.63 a Sq metre, the 100mm version at £9 a roll works out at £1.08 a Sq metre. so if you double up the 100mm roll to make it 200mm it only works out at £2.16 a Sq metre. so not sure on those figures where you got slightly cold from.

the only stuff I've seen in store recently was 16.99 a roll..... we had to buy 200mm for the garage and got it for 14.99 a roll from wickes x

is this still available? I need some in my loft

£3.92 in derby wyvern 12 left

I reckon that was probably the last 6 rolls from any of the Homebase stores. next best I've found is www.insulationgiant.co.uk

thanks op

Great price use this to insulate the walls of our old 1900's house attached to battens and plasterboarded also behind radiators to reflect heat into room normaly about £13 at B&Q

Not all areas covered (ex. Colchester )... I was called 5 times by different BG customer support in last 6 months and wasted ard 30 mins each (I'm a BG customer but they don't use your details) finally to be told that they don't have any installers in my area and some third party will contact me, which has never happened...

Had two of these surveys done in the three years we have lived in this house. It's a 70's house with built in cavity wall insulation and original loft insulation just reaching the top of the joists. Both surveys claimed we exceeded the minimum amount of loft insulation. More likely there was not enough in it for them already having the cavities filled.

British will do your loft and cavity for free. I think they will even pay for scaffolding if required if they get enough towards their carbon reduction target. You dont have to be a customer either.

Check you may still be able to get it free from Gas/Electric suppliers..and you don't have to be with them http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/free-cavity-loft-insulation#freeinsulation

A nice man from British Gas came round recently and did the whole of my loft free of charge. Now that's a deal!

or 33m of tape for 99p from Screwfix

Yep,cold

Good price, heat added 8)

Looks good but you can get 20M which is 4x more tape for £3.55 delivered - https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/insulation-tape-19mm-x-20m-pk-10-3-55-cpc-2305152

Its Politics.

Don't know why this is cold when the same tape but only 5M instead of 20M is hot at half the price https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/pro-power-sh5006-10mpk-insulation-tape-19mm-x-5m-pack-10-1-48-cpc-2313299#post26350920 This is better value.

It would take you ages to cover your loft in this better to use proper loft insulation.

Because you get about 1metre of tape on poundland ones,these have 20metres.;)

​Yes. can get these from pound shops for a pack of 5 (sometimes 10). Why pay £4???

Check first before you buy...it still might be on http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/free-cavity-loft-insulation#freeinsulation

Nice video showing how to do it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq98oeG_qrQ

http://www.diy.com/departments/knauf-ekoroll-loft-insulation-l728m-w1140mm-t100mm/182146_BQ.prd

everytime i go to deal its not £30 its £39???help

Thanks for the tip. You don't need an account either, it's helped by the Government. Would still prefer to do it myself though. Shame the Government can't do a few weeks helping out a retailer or two like 4-6 years ago.

If you have nothing, get a British Gas free inspection. As long as you don't have an asbestos water tank, they will come and do it all for free. This is coming from experience. I moved into a place that needed more insulation - BG inspected, and said that as I had 10mm, I wasn't able to claim. However, if I got someone to remove it all, they will come in, and properly insulate the lot for free - so I did.

Looks like the days of cheap rolls around £3-6 are long gone. I need to do my house completely as there's almost nothing thanks to the previous owner. Going to cost me £300-400 instead of £30-40. Think I'm just going to wait to see if someone wants to offload due to poor sales.

Looks pretty good deal. I may get some for my bedroom extension is it's only got about 100/150mm up there. Makes me laugh though that this is 200mm and classed as top up. At one time this would be more than enough and is certainly more than I have already. If it keeps going on like this our houses will need an extra "floor' just to fit the loft insulation in it !! Just a shame it's not encapsulated.

yes I got my e-mail not in stock till Nov, this doesn't bother me in the slightest because good price. However I dont think they should debit my card till dispatch I am now £4.25 lighter and nothing till Nov, I think thats bad business. cheers

.....................thanks for the useful info

It will take your order and payment and you'll receive an immediate reply saying out of stock until 2/11/15, They'll send out as soon as they're in stock

I know poundland do these but I don't know how long or how many you get

They do the same but each roll is 4 times longer. 20m instead of 5m. £3.43 https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/sh5003-10mpk/insulation-tape-19mm-x-20m-pk/dp/CB1229762

Any discount codes please?

Heeeeeeaaaaattttt

or for 85p you can get 19mm x 8m of same colours from CPC as well

great price !!!! HEAT!!!

Who needs it? Me X) Temporary colour coding. Plus small rolls are much easier to carry or put in a small tool case. But yeah, if you need wider better quality tape, then its out there.
