Loft Deals & Offers

should be any..its a generic code I found...I used it on the 6 pillows fine found it here https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/groupon#reveal:28fKWSWLQAw:1

Is that off the 4 deal or the 6 deal do you know @potnoodle worldcup

FSFSPL5Z code for extra 20% off

I've ordered the 6. Hopefully they're ok for the money!

the words Quality and Groupon just don't seem to go together. We got 4 John Lewis pillows for £25 which was half price or thereabouts. We bought them a year ago and are still as plump and soft as they day we bought them

A quick look shows you can get 200thick at 4830x114mm for £14.50 ea. Bear in mind that was in oct last year but over those few months, many deals around that price were about.

When I did nt whole loft, I calculated in a table the £/m3 of insulation, then you have a truely relative number to compare to each other. I'll see if I can dig it out and post if anyone is interested.

Back to £13.95 now

7 years ago.

Was that when Princess Diana got married to Charles

Those Roman clock makers were way ahead of their time...(flirt) Got to laugh at the RRP on these... £175? Yeah right!(shock) (y)

Roman Numeral face hahahaha (highfive)

Bugger, missed it. Anyone know anywhere else a similar price?

No. The lockable variant is the GL251

Can this be locked?

Prefer apple version, twice as much for sure... Half as good but cool logo in the hatch cover! Worth the extra obviously! Good find OP. Thanks

Just fitted mine. The biggest job was getting the old hatch out as it was bonded in with mastic all the way around. It's only a 15 minute job to fit then. A few ratchet clamps are handy to hold it in place, centre it and drill pilot holes. Nice big outer frame to hide any mess from the original. The sealing strip is quite close to the inside and even though I have 600mm centre joists I still have 10mm gap down the lengths either side, which means the seal isn't pulled to the ceiling on those sides. Might stuff some foam down the gap.

Voucher expired 5th march need a time machine NOW.

Might be useful for some... I gave up buying the stuff which i dont really need. Enjoy.

Do wooden ladders usually state max weight limits? Any idea what the limit is for one you linked to? They also seem to do a handrail version for a couple more pounds.

Can this be used for external work at all?

6% discount for me :D

No problem, Loft legs are grate, be careful with the distance / spacing there is a table on there web site that can help, I renovate houses the older one are fantastic but nothing "just works" every project need more thought and extra effort. but after its all done you will glad you did it.....

Thanks for that - I started doing it the other way, bit luckily have only got 1 roll down so far so will either change it or just do the rest at 90 degrees. Mine is taking a little longer as using loft legs and putting boarding over the top and also the distance between the rafters seems to be less than the boards (guess it's because it's a 1950's house)?

Not my loft (or wife) but this how its done.... as many have said 100mm between joists then 170 or 200 on top at 90degree to first layer, if you don't do it like this then you will get "cold bridging" via the joists, Note: if you were only to put 200mm between joists there would be very little benefit....

This is the bottom layer that goes between the rafters - you then stick the 170mm stuff on top!

Awesome, ordered 9 rolls been wanting to get some down in our loft for ages!

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.

Unfortunately this has expired now. I would've got it at this price!

Thanks, ordered. Great price. Heat added :D

Are you keeping them robes you are selling on Ebay in the loft?

It mentions the loft hatch has to be under 20mm or under, that seems pretty thin? Most modern ones I've seen seem to be about 25-50mm and lined with foam insulation.

Worth noting that the one in B&Q for £60 also includes a handrail and a spring mechanism to make it easier to stow. Each to their own but I’d rather spend the extra £15 for these benefits. B&Q loft ladder with handrail

Ask your husband to do it.

Check Ebay. A friend got one about 1.2m long for under £15

Seen as this only goes to 2.69m I’m going to go with a no.

No sense here. So cold from me to you.

It’s just for the laptops as the picture highlights! ;)

Nice-looking desk and a really good price. Is it proper veneer/vinyl though, or just paper? It makes all the difference

Good Price , but does not have pull out keyboard tray. I find the keyboard tray and full keyboard very handy even when using my keyboard.

thanks

Nice find for £35 - heat from me :)

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

Yeah depends how much you need i guess. Thanks for working that out may help others.

If my calculations are correct, obviously depending on desired quantity: Homebase 200mm rolled = coverage listed as 3.88m2 per roll @ £11.99 = £3.09/m2 Wickes 200mm rolled (3 for 2) = coverage listed as 5.61m2 per roll @ £14.49 (3 for 2) = £2.58/m2 Wickes cheaper by a margin £/m2.

None in stock at Washington. Staff appeared ambivalent, I was told that everything we sell is on the website! I also wanted some 7M ladders but none reduced at all. No good using as a stand alone ladder, safer options for little more cash.

Agree. Not sturdy enough to use as a stand-alone ladder. I should know as i have a permanent scar on my shin falling off one whilst trying to clean guttering on my extension! Picked up this one and the 3-section one £25 (before 15% voucher) Cheers OP

It specifically says in the installation instructions not to do this.

Thanks OP. Didn’t get 2 section but got 3 section for £25 minus 15% instead of £49 https://everydiy.uk/p/homebase.co.uk/247156/Abru-3-Section-Aluminium-Loft-Ladder

Cheers for this OP,been wanting a cheap one for a while now.. Grabbed last one in my local... Had to show them the deal on tradepoint site to get it for £33...they insisted it should have been £38.. Nice one, thanks

Maybe only 3 if you're tall

No,4milk crates will do

When following the instructions the ladder will probably overlap the hatch too much to push up the lid. I think the instructions said to mark at 30cm's I measured at 20cm's and this gives me enough room to push up the lid up into the loft space. It does feel light weight (some might say cheap), but this makes it easy to push back into the loft and my 6'3" son hasn't broken it yet, and he's good at breaking stuff as he's quite heavy handed (annoyed)

I used http://www.jupiterblue.co.uk/loft-hatches-c2/made-to-measure-c10/sds-made-to-measure-insulated-loft-hatch-p204 I chose the 50mm frame option to hide any damage from taking off the old wooden trim. I emailed them a couple of times before I ordered and they were really helpful.

Bexleyheath

Kid craft stuff is pretty good as well. We’ve bought a few kid craft things for our daughter and have been really pleased, good quality. Would recommend.

Which branch?

Always a bit hit & miss with TK/Homesense, like my TV post, but this is a good price, heat!

Thank you. Ordered just in time. :D

Yes, you should leave a gap. But it all depends on how much insulation you are using and how much headroom you want above the boards. A quick google located this comment: "The point of the gap is to remove moist air. How much you have depends on how humid your house is and how well sealed your ceiling is, so not all houses will suffer this, but water vapour moves through the plasterboard ceiling, even if there are no gaps, and will cool as it passes through the insulation. So there's a risk that it will condense on the underside of the boards, causing damp and mould, which is why the BBA and BRE insists on the air gap. It's particularly bad in the winter, when the loft is cold. I've seen plenty of cases of boards getting so sodden that both them and the insulation have to be thrown away, and where fungus/water stains the ceiling and leaks down into the room below. "

You're not thinking of water tanks in the loft are you? you're not supposed to lag under those I think. I can't see why there's a problem covering the top of the insulation with boards but I could be wrong.

Are you not suppose to leave an air gap between the top of insulation & bottom of the loft board when installing loft legs? That pic on Toolstation looks like it packed to the hilt with insulation with no breathing space for air to circulate.

I have used Loft Flooring Legs in my loft to raise the floor by 175mm FROM TOOLSTATION. A low cost lightweight option.

Folks, can this be converted into a step ladder?

Can you fit these loft ladders where you've got a hatch that lifts upwards

Since when was half of £83.53 £49.98?

Anyone know where you can get a loft escalator, would prefer wooden as the metal ones are cold on my feet when i go out without my shoes so god knows what it would be like if stored in loft

Just bought and installed the £38 2 section ladder from b&q. Perfectly happy with it.

Have you been drinking the vinegar? Ranting on (sadly for some) doesn't increase your intellect or common sense.

Says u posted the pic in previous comment. "Its only funny until someone gets hurt then its frikkin hilarious".. Im sorry whos hurt now? Lol. I was only stating a point,u had to be an arse posting the pic acting like ur smart. Im nice if ur nice. If ur gonna be nasty i'll be nasty too. Have u always used things for the intended purpose in ur entire life? Not even once have u not? If u've already got some vinegar that will remove a stain but doesnt work as well as a detergent,just requires more scrubbing..then why waste money buying detergent when u will achieve the same with vinegar. Ok im stupid for not buying the correct type of ladder when i simply just needed a cheap one and will be putting it away for collecting dust after one or two uses. I can say vinegar's crap for the job, i can say when i stand on top of the loft ladder it feels cheap&wobbly,just like u can call me stupid too. And call anyone that uses vinegar for non cooking related things stupid. Call those who speed in inexpensive cars stupid for not doing it in a lamborghini. Keep judging :)

Wow, Your ability for being stupid (and posting idiotic comments) is only matched by your immaturity in throwing playground insults, Grow up.

Anyone got a link to a wooden one?

I was also stating that regardless what i used it for,there's still the fact that when u stand on top,its very wobbly and feels cheap. On the note of using things for correct purpose, tell ur bf that his backside is for passing excrements..not for your fun. Hilarious enough?

Thanks. Bought a single set.

Yes its all stores that have the stock.

Is this nationwide do we.know?
