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.

Questions about loft insulation in Bishop Auckland

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

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Bishop Auckland. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Bishop Auckland?

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.

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.
