Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Finchley
Do you charge extra to travel to Finchley?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Finchley. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

How do I pay for work in Finchley?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
