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 wet, dirty, matted or full of droppings, laying fresh wool on top just buries the problem, so we say so and price removal instead. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up on the Isle of Wight
Which council covers my address on the Isle of Wight?
Addresses on the Isle of Wight come under Isle of Wight council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
How do I book a survey on the Isle of Wight?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
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.
