Why book with us in Oxford
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does a loft insulation top-up cost in Oxford?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Oxford
Will I get a written quote for work in Oxford?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Oxford 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.
Do you take on jobs outside Oxford?
Yes. We also work in Abingdon and Didcot and elsewhere in Oxfordshire.
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.
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.
