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

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.

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.
