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 Hatfield

Is loft work in Hatfield 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.

Do you charge extra to travel to Hatfield?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Hatfield. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

Can you visit Hatfield 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.

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.

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.
