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 Hythe
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.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Hythe?
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 Hythe
Is loft work in Hythe 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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Hythe?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Hythe. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How soon can you visit a home in Hythe?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
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.
