			<![CDATA[After spending a few hours in the loft space yesterday and now feeling very itchy from the rockwool I have a question. It is very obvious that the holes for cabling and piping from loft to room beneath are allowing through lots of druaghts. I was amazed how much dirt, smoke (previous owners were heavy smokers), mould has discoloured the rockwool above these holes.<br /><br />What is the best way to feel these holes and stop the loss of heat and draughts from below into the loft space?<br /><br />Paul]]>

			<![CDATA[So not expanding foam (which I guess is not very friendly)? <br /><br />In the future we might convert the loft space to living quarters so should I remove the rockwool now and completely upgrade? If so what would be the best soltuion phenolic (?) foam boards, hemp / wood batts or something else?]]>
