Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Leighton Buzzard
How do I pay for work in Leighton Buzzard?

How soon can you visit a home in Leighton Buzzard?

Will I get a written quote for work in Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
