Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Devon
Can you quote for several properties in Devon?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
Which council covers my address in Devon?
Councils in Devon include Devon, Plymouth and Torbay. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
