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.

Questions about blown loft insulation in Oldham
What do I need to do before you arrive in Oldham?
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.
How do I pay for work in Oldham?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in Oldham different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
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.
