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 Oadby
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Oadby
Can a landlord in Oadby book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Oadby?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Oadby. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of LE2?
Yes, we cover the LE2 postcode district and the districts around Oadby.
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.
