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 dry, even and not contaminated, we keep it and lay the top-up across it at right angles. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Barnsley

Do you charge extra to travel to Barnsley?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Barnsley. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Barnsley?

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 Barnsley?

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.

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.
