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.

We measure before we quote

Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Eaves kept clear

Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Hinckley

Will I get a written quote for work in Hinckley?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

Can a landlord in Hinckley book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

How soon can you visit a home in Hinckley?

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 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.

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.
