But try your local builders merchants as well. The seconds and co stuff will be variable thickness and may have cavities inthe insulation. On a decent size order try getting an account price from your local merchnt - tell them what price you want.

Expect to pay about £5 per square metre including VAT for 50mm thick.

What he said, if you're not too bothered about the quality. We do deals on "damaged" stuff for jobs like this. Mostly stuff with corner and surface damage. Gets you really cheap insulation for not a lot of money, because our customers have already "wrongly ordered" stuff, but it's perfectly suitable for garages and the like. They've paid for it, but have returned it in non-resaleable condition, but we can't then re-sell it, because most people want (and I can't blame them) perfect quality stuff.

eBay, lots of competitive builders merchants on there. Got a load for some recent work at a price much better than local merchants.

I've used AandA insulation twice - very good, and cheap. Both seconds and co and aanda are south wales-based - I'm guessing the kingspan factory is somewhere around there. As above, corner damage and/or incorrect thickness are reasons for cheapness - I got some at a good price that just seemed to have badly rippled foil on it (although it could have been full of voids internally). I think they advertise on ebay too.
