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.

Why book with us in Scarborough
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about blown loft insulation in Scarborough
Is loft work in Scarborough 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 take on jobs outside Scarborough?
Yes. We also work in Whitby and Malton and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
How do I pay for work in Scarborough?
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.
