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
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible

Questions about loft insulation in Saltcoats
How do I pay for work in Saltcoats?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in Saltcoats different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Do you cover all of KA21?
Yes, we cover the KA21 postcode district and the districts around Saltcoats.
How deep should loft insulation be?
The Energy Saving Trust recommends at least 270 mm of mineral wool, and that is the depth we install as standard. Building regulations also set an energy standard for the roof when a loft is insulated. It differs between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the target for your address on the quote.
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.
