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.
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Jarrow
Can you visit Jarrow 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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Jarrow?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you take on jobs outside Jarrow?
Yes. We also work in Hebburn and Wallsend and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
