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 Penzance

Can a landlord in Penzance book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

Is loft work in Penzance different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

How do I pay for work in Penzance?

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.
