Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Morpeth
Do you charge extra to travel to Morpeth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Morpeth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Morpeth 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 you visit Morpeth 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.
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.
