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 Halifax
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
How much does a loft insulation top-up cost in Halifax?

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Halifax
How soon can you visit a home in Halifax?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Halifax?
Yes. We also work in Brighouse and Huddersfield and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
Can a landlord in Halifax book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
