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.

Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Bridgend
What do I need to do before you arrive in Bridgend?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
How do I pay for work in Bridgend?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in Bridgend 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.
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.
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.
