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.

Why book with us in Penicuik
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Penicuik?
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 Penicuik
What do I need to do before you arrive in Penicuik?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Do you charge extra to travel to Penicuik?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Penicuik. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in Penicuik?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Does blown insulation settle?
Mineral wool loose fill settles a little, which is allowed for in the depth we install. The depth markers let you check it later.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
