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 the Highlands and Islands

Are your prices the same across the Highlands and Islands?

Mainland towns such as Inverness, Dingwall and Nairn are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.

Which council covers my address in the Highlands and Islands?

Councils in the Highlands and Islands include Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and Na h-Eileanan Siar. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.

Is it messy?

The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.

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.
