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.
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Swanscombe
Do you charge extra to travel to Swanscombe?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Swanscombe. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Swanscombe?
Yes. We also work in Gravesend and Longfield and elsewhere in Kent.
How soon can you visit a home in Swanscombe?
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.
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.
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.
