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.
- Gaps in the existing layer filled
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm
- Depth check and photos before and after

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Prudhoe
Do you cover all of NE42?
Yes, we cover the NE42 postcode district and the districts around Prudhoe.
Do you charge extra to travel to Prudhoe?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Prudhoe. 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 Prudhoe?
Yes. We also work in Ponteland and Hexham and elsewhere in Northumberland.
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.
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.
