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.

Questions about blown loft insulation in South Shields
How do I pay for work in South Shields?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in South Shields 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.
Can you visit South Shields outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
