In a recent thread (NP?) it was suggested that you could halve the heat loss through brick with as little as 10mm of closed cell foam. There is a 28mm plasterboard/foam product but maybe the camping mat style foam could be stuck to the wall behind your Tudor tapestries.
Wouldnt a run through a washing machine solve all those except the twigs, which arent much of a problem?

Maybe that why all the suppliers I came accross sourced from Eire?
I've seen a lot of people complaining about the wool board. Maybe the farmers should tell them to get stuffed?
I would have a job getting a sheep to run in my washing machine.

There must be some sort of EU regulation that that contravenes. It's hardly free market friendly.
If you want something thin to put between the timbers, Aerogel is probably the solution to your problems ... it will also solve the problem of an inconveniently large bank balance.
Wonder if in the spirit of DIY a farmer could set up a shear your own operation. First catch the sheep. And no ,Angle grinders are not allowed.

You want to put a loft's worth of wool through your machine? That ought to wear it out.

Looking at their website, it is to be applied on top of the stud, or vertical timbers in my case, before installing drywall sheets across the whole, which would hide the timber. Not the desired effect, unfortunately. But I appreciate the link. I like the idea that you are paying for a load of hot air!

Well thing is you are still losing money on every Kg of wool, and the WMB take most of the hassle out of disposing of large quantities of it and at least you do get some money in return. Selling privately is ok if there was a big enough market in the UK for it, (1) but then you could be stuck with the Tesco buying mentality, ie try selling fruit to a supermarket.
Things may well change in the future as the price of Synthetic fibre increase with the price of oil.
(1) did you know that most of the wool produced and sold in the uk is sent to China for cleaning before being shipped back here.
