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

Questions about a loft insulation top-up in South Elmsall
Do you charge extra to travel to South Elmsall?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to South Elmsall. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in South Elmsall?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can a landlord in South Elmsall book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
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.
