Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Frome
Can you visit Frome 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 charge extra to travel to Frome?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Frome. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of BA11?
Yes, we cover the BA11 postcode district and the districts around Frome.
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.
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.
