Why book with us in Richmond, North Yorkshire
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
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.

Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Richmond, North Yorkshire
Do you cover all of DL10?
Yes, we cover the DL10 postcode district and the districts around Richmond, North Yorkshire.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Richmond, North Yorkshire?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Richmond, North Yorkshire?
Yes. We also work in Northallerton and Thirsk and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
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.
