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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Eyemouth
What do I need to do before you arrive in Eyemouth?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
How soon can you visit a home in Eyemouth?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Do you cover all of TD14?
Yes, we cover the TD14 postcode district and the districts around Eyemouth.
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.
