Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Exmouth
What do I need to do before you arrive in Exmouth?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Do you cover all of EX8?
Yes, we cover the EX8 postcode district and the districts around Exmouth.
Can a landlord in Exmouth 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.
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.
