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 dry, even and not contaminated, we keep it and lay the top-up across it at right angles. More about a loft insulation top-up.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in West Yorkshire

Do you cover the whole of West Yorkshire?

Yes. We cover every town and village in West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield.

Yes, if the old layer is dry, clean and reasonably even. If it is damp, contaminated or badly compressed we recommend removing it first.
