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.

Eaves kept clear

Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Failsworth

Can a landlord in Failsworth book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

How do I pay for work in Failsworth?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Do you charge extra to travel to Failsworth?

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

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.
