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 Pontypool
Do you take on jobs outside Pontypool?
Yes. We also work in Cwmbran and Risca and elsewhere in Gwent.
How do I pay for work in Pontypool?
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 Pontypool?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Pontypool. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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 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.
