What is blown loft insulation?
The machine stays outside or on the landing and the hose runs up to the loft. We hold a board or tray at the eaves so the loose fill cannot block the ventilation path. More about blown loft insulation.

Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Eaves kept clear

Questions about blown loft insulation in Edinburgh
Do you charge extra to travel to Edinburgh?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Edinburgh. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Edinburgh?
Yes. We also work in Musselburgh and Bonnyrigg and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Can you visit Edinburgh outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
