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 County Fermanagh

Are your prices the same across County Fermanagh?

Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.

Which council covers my address in County Fermanagh?

Addresses in County Fermanagh come under Fermanagh and Omagh council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.

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.

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.
