Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Grays
Do you take on jobs outside Grays?
Yes. We also work in South Ockendon and Stanford-le-Hope and elsewhere in Essex.

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Grays?

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.
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.
