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.

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

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Can a landlord in Machynlleth book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
