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 second layer goes across the joists at right angles, which covers the timber and stops it acting as a cold bridge. More about loft insulation.

Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor

Questions about loft insulation in St Ives, Cornwall

Will I get a written quote for work in St Ives, Cornwall?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

Do you cover all of TR26?

Will loft insulation make my loft colder?

Yes, and that is expected. The insulation keeps the heat in the rooms below, so the loft above runs closer to the outdoor temperature. That is why pipes and the tank are lagged as part of the job.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

The floor needs to be clear for the insulation to go down. If moving things yourself is difficult, tell us at the survey and we can price clearing and putting items back on raised boarding.
