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.
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Gaps in the existing layer filled

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Hornchurch
Do you charge extra to travel to Hornchurch?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Hornchurch. 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 Hornchurch?
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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Hornchurch?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
