Pictures clean up and ceiling fire proofing

Cleaning up between the rafters with dust pan and brush to start with. Really good dust mask required.


25mm chicken wire fitted, a labourious job that tends to fray my fingers. I used an electric stapler to hold it in place. Cheapest supplier I found for the chicken wire was : www.meshdirect.co.uk I ordered 3 rolls 900mm wide by 25m for £70.50

I built a storage platform 100mm above the rafters, giving room for a bit more insulation. Somewhere to keep that stuff that we can'nt bear to chuck, someday it when we might have 'Cash in the Attic". You can also see the recycled insulation at the back giving us a total of about 450mm. I'm slowly bringing up the lightweight concrete blocks up to build the fire separation wall on the left.
Rockwool Flexislab after delivery filling the garage. Sourced from www.buildingmaterialsdirect.com again best price I found and helpful salesperson. 18 packs of 100 x 400 £322.75 inc vat.


Main roof space, again wire mesh and Rockwool Flexi Slab down to the eaves. Also showing the ceiling cross member refitted back from where the UB is going the vertical supports are bolted to to the roof rafters giving additional strengthening to the old storage floor.
