Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Hebburn
How do I pay for work in Hebburn?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of NE31?
Yes, we cover the NE31 postcode district and the districts around Hebburn.
Can you visit Hebburn outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
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.
