What is blown loft insulation?
The machine stays outside or on the landing and the hose runs up to the loft. Depth markers fixed to the joists or trusses show the installed depth, and the fibre settles into corners that rolls would bridge. More about blown loft insulation.

Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about blown loft insulation in Reading
Can a landlord in Reading book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Will I get a written quote for work in Reading?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you cover all of RG1?
Yes, we cover the RG1 postcode district and the districts around Reading.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
Is blown insulation better than rolls?
It performs about the same for the same depth. It is the faster and neater option in lofts that are awkward to work in, and rolls are better where you want boarding later.
