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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Birkenhead

Do you charge extra to travel to Birkenhead?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Birkenhead. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

Is loft work in Birkenhead 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.

Will I get a written quote for work in Birkenhead?

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

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.

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.
