Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Ilkeston
Do you cover all of DE7?
Yes, we cover the DE7 postcode district and the districts around Ilkeston.
Do you take on jobs outside Ilkeston?
Yes. We also work in Heanor and Long Eaton and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
Can a landlord in Ilkeston book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
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.
