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

Questions about loft insulation in Chesterfield
Do you take on jobs outside Chesterfield?
Yes. We also work in Staveley and Dronfield and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Chesterfield?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Chesterfield. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Chesterfield different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
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.
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.
