Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Peckham
Do you charge extra to travel to Peckham?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Peckham. 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 Peckham?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Peckham?
Yes. We also work in Brixton and Greenwich and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
