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 Torquay
Do you take on jobs outside Torquay?
Yes. We also work in Paignton and Brixham and elsewhere in Devon.
How do I pay for work in Torquay?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
How soon can you visit a home in Torquay?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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 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.
