What is a loft insulation top-up?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Dunfermline

Will I get a written quote for work in Dunfermline?

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 Dunfermline?

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 a landlord in Dunfermline book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

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.

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.
