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 New Mills

Do you take on jobs outside New Mills?

Yes. We also work in Glossop and Buxton and elsewhere in Derbyshire.

How do I pay for work in New Mills?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Can a landlord in New Mills book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

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.
