Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
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.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Guiseley
What do I need to do before you arrive in Guiseley?
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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Guiseley?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can you visit Guiseley 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.
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.
