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 dry, even and not contaminated, we keep it and lay the top-up across it at right angles. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Kempston
Do you take on jobs outside Kempston?
Yes. We also work in Bedford and Ampthill and elsewhere in Bedfordshire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Kempston?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kempston. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Kempston book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
Which way should the top-up layer run?
Across the joists, at right angles to the first layer. That covers the tops of the joists, which otherwise let heat escape along the timber.
