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 wet, dirty, matted or full of droppings, laying fresh wool on top just buries the problem, so we say so and price removal instead. More about a loft insulation top-up.
- Gaps in the existing layer filled

If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Eaves kept clear

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Risca

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Risca. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of NP11?
Yes, we cover the NP11 postcode district and the districts around Risca.
Is it worth topping up 100 mm of loft insulation?
Often, if the existing layer is in good condition and you also want a warmer house or a better EPC. On bill savings alone, a top-up from about 100 mm takes decades to pay back, so the case is strongest when it is done alongside other loft work.
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.
