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
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Why book with us in Chester-le-Street
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about loft insulation in Chester-le-Street
Do you cover all of DH2?
Yes, we cover the DH2 postcode district and the districts around Chester-le-Street.

Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you charge extra to travel to Chester-le-Street?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Chester-le-Street. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
