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.

Why book with us in Walsall
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does a loft insulation top-up cost in Walsall?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Walsall
Can you visit Walsall 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.
How soon can you visit a home in Walsall?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Walsall?
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.
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.
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.
