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.

We measure before we quote

Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Winchester

What do I need to do before you arrive in Winchester?

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.

Is loft work in Winchester 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.

Can a landlord in Winchester book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

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.

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.
