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.
- Gaps in the existing layer filled
- Cross layer to a total of 270 to 300 mm
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft

Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Lofthouse
Do you charge extra to travel to Lofthouse?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Lofthouse. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can you visit Lofthouse 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.
Do you take on jobs outside Lofthouse?
Yes. We also work in Wakefield and Morley and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
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.
