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.
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Gaps in the existing layer filled

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Huyton
Do you take on jobs outside Huyton?
Yes. We also work in Prescot and Halewood and elsewhere in Merseyside.
Do you charge extra to travel to Huyton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Huyton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of L36?
Yes, we cover the L36 postcode district and the districts around Huyton.
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.
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.
