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 dry, even and not contaminated, we keep it and lay the top-up across it at right angles. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Lockerbie

How soon can you visit a home in Lockerbie?

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.

Do you take on jobs outside Lockerbie?

Yes. We also work in Annan and Dumfries and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway.

Do you charge extra to travel to Lockerbie?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Lockerbie. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

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.

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.
