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.
- Depth check and photos before and after
- Gaps in the existing layer filled

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Yarmouth
Do you take on jobs outside Yarmouth?
Yes. We also work in Newport (Isle of Wight) and Cowes and elsewhere on the Isle of Wight.
Do you cover all of PO41?
Yes, we cover the PO41 postcode district and the districts around Yarmouth.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Yarmouth?
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.
Which way should the top-up layer run?
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.
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.
