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.
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze

Questions about loft insulation in Spennymoor
What do I need to do before you arrive in Spennymoor?
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 charge extra to travel to Spennymoor?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Spennymoor. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in Spennymoor?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Does loft insulation need building control approval?
On its own it usually does not, but the work still has to meet the energy standard. The rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the position for your address on the quote.
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.
