Hi
Moved house last year and the loft was 2/3rds boarded. Down one end loft insulation was rolled over the top of the loft boards. Now getting a bit straighter up there I'd like to get this insulation below the boards if possible.
There's about 6" of space under there and the old insulation only about 1" thick.
Unfortunately the loft boards are tongue and groove and have been nailed down with nails with small heads.
Any tips/tricks how to get them up with minimum damage?
Tried knocking them from underneath (where I can get under), to loosen nails enough to then pull them with a claw hammer. Alas it's difficult to get much clearance underneath to swing hammer back.
