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 Birmingham

Do you charge extra to travel to Birmingham?

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

Do you take on jobs outside Birmingham?

Yes. We also work in Aston and Smethwick and elsewhere in the West Midlands.

How do I pay for work in Birmingham?

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

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 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.
