What is a loft insulation top-up?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Falmouth
Do you cover all of TR11?
Yes, we cover the TR11 postcode district and the districts around Falmouth.
How do I pay for work in Falmouth?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Will I get a written quote for work in Falmouth?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
