Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Wells
Do you take on jobs outside Wells?
Yes. We also work in Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury and elsewhere in Somerset.
How soon can you visit a home in Wells?
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 charge extra to travel to Wells?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Wells. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
