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.

Why book with us in Chelmsford
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does a loft insulation top-up cost in Chelmsford?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Chelmsford
How do I pay for work in Chelmsford?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of CM1?
Yes, we cover the CM1 postcode district and the districts around Chelmsford.
Can a landlord in Chelmsford 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 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.
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.
