    Hi all,

    Was thinking of getting the attic insulated and the covered in plywood. Anyone know anyone local who would do that?

    [even though they probably won't answer my call!!]

    Waterford Efficient Living recently did my attic whilst doing external insulation on the front and back of the house. They did a brilliant job overall. The attic is incredible. They even built a fibreboard/MDF type platform up in the attic for storage. And before you ask, no, I don't work for them!

    WEL were the most expensive when I was pricing. They used to sub-contract out most of the work. (not sure if this is still the case). I used warm home insulations. Make sure to get a price from someone outside of Waterford. I found that d local guys priced it all around the same.
