What is loft insulation?
We lay the first layer to the depth of the joists, usually 100 mm, so it fills each bay edge to edge with no gaps. The finished depth sits at 270 mm or more, the depth the Energy Saving Trust recommends. More about loft insulation.
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
Why book with us in Prestwick
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Prestwick?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the building standards still apply. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about loft insulation in Prestwick
Do you cover all of KA8?
Yes, we cover the KA8 postcode district and the districts around Prestwick.
Do you take on jobs outside Prestwick?
Yes. We also work in Ayr and Troon and elsewhere in Ayrshire and Arran.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Prestwick?
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.
Can you insulate around downlights?
Recessed downlights need clearance or a fire-rated cover so they do not overheat. We fit covers where needed and leave a clear zone around fittings that cannot be covered.
How long does it take to insulate a loft?
Most lofts in houses take a single day. A large bungalow loft, a loft that needs clearing first or one with awkward access can run into a second day.
