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.

Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.

Questions about blown loft insulation in Barnsley
Do you charge extra to travel to Barnsley?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Barnsley. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How soon can you visit a home in Barnsley?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Can a landlord in Barnsley book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
