Answer 4

if you are looking to use the loft as a room you will need to get building regulation approval and possibly plannign permission before doing so, if you are just putting a floor down to make it easier to store things up there i would suggest the tongue and groove chip board made specifically for the job you can get it at any of the big diy shops but i normally find wickes are the cheapest for basic materials
