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.

Why book with us in Peterlee
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Peterlee?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Questions about blown loft insulation in Peterlee
Can a landlord in Peterlee book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Peterlee?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Peterlee. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of SR8?
Yes, we cover the SR8 postcode district and the districts around Peterlee.
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.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
