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 wet, dirty, matted or full of droppings, laying fresh wool on top just buries the problem, so we say so and price removal instead. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Bury St Edmunds

Is loft work in Bury St Edmunds different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

How do I pay for work in Bury St Edmunds?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Do you charge extra to travel to Bury St Edmunds?

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

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.
