Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Bedford
Will I get a written quote for work in Bedford?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you cover all of MK40?
Yes, we cover the MK40 postcode district and the districts around Bedford.
Can you visit Bedford 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.
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.
Is it worth topping up 100 mm of loft insulation?
Often, if the existing layer is in good condition and you also want a warmer house or a better EPC. On bill savings alone, a top-up from about 100 mm takes decades to pay back, so the case is strongest when it is done alongside other loft work.
