Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Dingwall
What do I need to do before you arrive in Dingwall?
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.
How do I pay for work in Dingwall?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of IV15?
Yes, we cover the IV15 postcode district and the districts around Dingwall.
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.
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.
