What is a loft insulation top-up?
Before we quote we measure the existing layer in several places and check its condition. If it is wet, dirty, matted or full of droppings, laying fresh wool on top just buries the problem, so we say so and price removal instead. More about a loft insulation top-up.
- Depth check and photos before and after
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm

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

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Arbroath
How do I pay for work in Arbroath?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Arbroath?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Arbroath. 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 Arbroath?
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 I still store things in the loft after a top-up?
Not directly on the insulation. A 270 mm layer stands well above the joists, so storage needs raised boarding on loft legs.
Can new insulation go on top of old insulation?
Yes, if the old layer is dry, clean and reasonably even. If it is damp, contaminated or badly compressed we recommend removing it first.
