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 Birkenhead
Do you charge extra to travel to Birkenhead?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Birkenhead. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Birkenhead 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.
How do I pay for work in Birkenhead?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
