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.

Why book with us in Ripon
Tank and pipes protected

Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Ripon
Do you charge extra to travel to Ripon?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Ripon. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Ripon 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.
Can a landlord in Ripon book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
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.
