Last year I fitted extra insulation in my loft. The rockwool now sits proud of the joists.
It gave me a good excuse to have a good clear out and remove the tongue and groove boards and bits of old wardrobe I had previously used.
I left a small area in the middle of the loft floor still boarded. It contains the header tanks etc and enough heat rises from the rooms below to avoid frozen pipes. The boarding also sits above the internal walls of the house so it should be the strongest part of the loft floor and adequate for what little storage I now need.
I considered raising the boards so that I could still insulate beneath them but went instead for the aforementioned clear-out option.
