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 Maghull
How do I pay for work in Maghull?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of L31?
Yes, we cover the L31 postcode district and the districts around Maghull.
Can a landlord in Maghull book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
