Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Rickmansworth

Do you charge extra to travel to Rickmansworth?

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

How soon can you visit a home in Rickmansworth?

We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.

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

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 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 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.
