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 Ballymoney
Is loft work in Ballymoney 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.
Can a landlord in Ballymoney book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How do I pay for work in Ballymoney?
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.
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.
