    Inches ?
    Varies. On top of hot water tank 6 inches. On loft boards 4-6 inches. On chimney breast 2 inches.

    Then again my lovely new loft boards are soaking up a lot of the melted stuff so it's not all bad.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      My loft is full of snow.

      The weight of the snow had buckled in the cover of the hot water tank, thus depressing the ball valve.

      It will melt unless I get up there and man the shovels / bilge pumps.
      It’s yet more proof of global warming.

            So your loft insulation is practically non-existent too?

              Oh yes good point. The loft insulation under the loft boards will also soak this up like a sponge. I'm saved.
