Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Staines-upon-Thames

Is loft work in Staines-upon-Thames 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.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Staines-upon-Thames?

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.

Do you charge extra to travel to Staines-upon-Thames?

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

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.

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.
