    We are taking out some old, rather draughty, Warmcel IWI and attic insulation, and will have several rubble bags full of it. If we cannot find anyone to re-use it as insulation we will have to compost it. Anyone?

    About 20 - 25 bags - anyone?

    Erm, can the Warmcel be tipped into a cavity (see my loft audit thread)?

    Not in a risk-free manner. There's a risk of it 'sucking'.

    Thread elsewhere on here about a guy who made a war cel blower out of an electric leaf blower..

    Sucking [water] and slumping?

    What is sucking??

    The insulant acting as a wick for moisture from outer to inner skin. I think Warmcel did not have a BBA cert for masonry cavity, and ditto for other natural insulants, IIRC .

    The cavities I'm talking about aren't external... they used to be, but are now enveloped by other walls following extensions. They have junctions onto external walls.

    Ah, I see. But I suspect that even the junction with external walls would mean the manufacturers would not recommend it, but as I have not looked at their web-site for many years, that is a guess.
