Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Selkirk
Can you visit Selkirk 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.
Do you take on jobs outside Selkirk?
Yes. We also work in Galashiels and Hawick and elsewhere in the Scottish Borders.
Do you cover all of TD7?
Yes, we cover the TD7 postcode district and the districts around Selkirk.
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 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.
