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 dry, even and not contaminated, we keep it and lay the top-up across it at right angles. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Larkhall
Is loft work in Larkhall different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Can a landlord in Larkhall book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Can you visit Larkhall outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
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.
