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 Altrincham

Do you charge extra to travel to Altrincham?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Altrincham. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

Will I get a written quote for work in Altrincham?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

Can you visit Altrincham outside working hours?

Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

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.
