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

Questions about loft insulation in Glossop
How do I pay for work in Glossop?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Glossop?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Glossop. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Glossop book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
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.
