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.

Why book with us in Tyne and Wear
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.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
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.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Tyne and Wear?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building regulations in England

Questions about blown loft insulation in Tyne and Wear
Can you quote for several properties in Tyne and Wear?

How do I book a survey in Tyne and Wear?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
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.
