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 Sinfin
Do you charge extra to travel to Sinfin?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Sinfin. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in Sinfin?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Sinfin outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
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.
