Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Glossop
How soon can you visit a home in Glossop?

Do you take on jobs outside Glossop?
Yes. We also work in New Mills and Buxton and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
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.
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.
