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.
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
Why book with us in Larne
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does loft insulation cost in Larne?
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 regulations in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland has its own Building Regulations, with energy guidance in Technical Booklet F1. Upgrading loft insulation may count as a thermal alteration, so check with your council's building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about loft insulation in Larne
What do I need to do before you arrive in Larne?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Larne?
Yes. We also work in Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey and elsewhere in County Antrim.
Will I get a written quote for work in Larne?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
