What is a loft insulation top-up?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Stockport

Will I get a written quote for work in Stockport?

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

Is loft work in Stockport different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

Do you charge extra to travel to Stockport?

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

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.

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.
