What is a loft insulation top-up?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Farnworth

Will I get a written quote for work in Farnworth?

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

How soon can you visit a home in Farnworth?

We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.

Do you cover all of BL4?

Yes, we cover the BL4 postcode district and the districts around Farnworth.

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.
