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.
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm
- Gaps in the existing layer filled
- Depth check and photos before and after

Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Wigan
Do you cover all of WN1?
Yes, we cover the WN1 postcode district and the districts around Wigan.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Wigan?
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.
Can a landlord in Wigan book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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 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.
