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.

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

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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Leven
Can a landlord in Leven book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Leven?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Leven. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Leven?
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 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.
