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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Amersham
Will I get a written quote for work in Amersham?
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 HP7?
Yes, we cover the HP7 postcode district and the districts around Amersham.
How do I pay for work in Amersham?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
