Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Chesham
Do you cover all of HP5?
Yes, we cover the HP5 postcode district and the districts around Chesham.
Do you take on jobs outside Chesham?
Yes. We also work in Amersham and Chalfont St Peter and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.
Can a landlord in Chesham 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 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.
