Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Skipton
Will I get a written quote for work in Skipton?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you charge extra to travel to Skipton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Skipton. 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 Skipton?
Yes. We also work in Harrogate and Ripon 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.
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.
