Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Rushden
Do you take on jobs outside Rushden?
Yes. We also work in Wellingborough and Kettering and elsewhere in Northamptonshire.
Do you cover all of NN10?
Yes, we cover the NN10 postcode district and the districts around Rushden.
Will I get a written quote for work in Rushden?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
