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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Greater London

Can you quote for several properties in Greater London?

Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Yes. We cover every town and village in Greater London, including Islington, Barking and Sutton.

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.
