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.

Why book with us in Preston
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
How much does a loft insulation top-up cost in Preston?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Preston
What do I need to do before you arrive in Preston?
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.
Do you cover all of PR1?
Yes, we cover the PR1 postcode district and the districts around Preston.
Will I get a written quote for work in Preston?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
