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.

Questions about blown loft insulation in Strood
Do you take on jobs outside Strood?
Yes. We also work in Rochester and Chatham and elsewhere in Kent.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Strood?
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.
Is loft work in Strood 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.
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.
