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 Malton
Can you visit Malton outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you charge extra to travel to Malton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Malton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Malton?
Yes. We also work in York and Scarborough and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
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.
