Cheapest place for loft rolls?

[jayc89]

Need approx 250m2 of 200mm loft roll. I suspect by the pallet would be cheapest. Local BMs are all very similar. Any recommendations for the cheapest places I should be looking?

B&Q or Wicks they normally under cut just about everyone. Or do an internet search, prices vary almost daily.

Wickes + 10% trade discount, - if you don't have a card one of your subby's will.   + if you are employed by a fairly large company there may be a "perks" discount scheme - I can get another 6% on gift cards.

 

You can buy at the service desk and collect round back, but you need the email address of the "trade card holder" and not just the bar code

 

As @JohnMo says the price varies, and they have discounts as well. 

 

Oh and you will need more than you think.

There seems to be a massive difference. Using Knauf Earthwool as an example, some online retailers selling it for £40 a roll and then there are some random fellas on Facebook Marketplace selling as much as I like for £20 a roll. WTF?

How much more will I need? I've taken my surface area, doubled it (for 2x runs) and added 10%.

if your after 400mm thickness you will struggle with 2 x 200mm, as the measurement is at its most fluffiest - if you get what I mean, and the bottom layer will crush. We used 3x 200mm layers to get to 500mm and still had to do a bit of "filling",  you loose a bit in the width when you push it together, also the eaves seem to eat it when you stuff it in there. 

 

The price has increased phenomenally, I've just had a look back in my notes, and we were paying £16.50 a roll at the beginning of April 21, and it went up to £21 middle of April.21
