Questions about a loft insulation top-up in South Shields
Do you cover all of NE33?
Yes, we cover the NE33 postcode district and the districts around South Shields.
Do you take on jobs outside South Shields?
Yes. We also work in Tynemouth and North Shields and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
What do I need to do before you arrive in South Shields?
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.
