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.
- Gaps in the existing layer filled

Why book with us in Hereford
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Hereford
How do I pay for work in Hereford?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Hereford outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cover all of HR1?
Yes, we cover the HR1 postcode district and the districts around Hereford.
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.
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.
