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.
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Why book with us in Annan
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.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
How much does loft insulation cost in Annan?

Questions about loft insulation in Annan
Can a landlord in Annan book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you take on jobs outside Annan?
Yes. We also work in Lockerbie and Dumfries and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway.
How soon can you visit a home in Annan?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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.
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.
