Why book with us in Longton
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Longton
Do you take on jobs outside Longton?
Yes. We also work in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme and elsewhere in Staffordshire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Longton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Longton. 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 Longton?
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.
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.
