Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Chorley
How do I pay for work in Chorley?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Chorley?
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.

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.

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.
