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.

Why book with us in Wickford

Boarding done properly

Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.

We measure before we quote

Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Eaves kept clear

Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Wickford

Do you charge extra to travel to Wickford?

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

Will I get a written quote for work in Wickford?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Wickford?

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.

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.

Is it worth topping up 100 mm of loft insulation?

Often, if the existing layer is in good condition and you also want a warmer house or a better EPC. On bill savings alone, a top-up from about 100 mm takes decades to pay back, so the case is strongest when it is done alongside other loft work.
