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.

Questions about loft insulation in Dumbarton

Can a landlord in Dumbarton book work for a tenanted house?

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

How soon can you visit a home in Dumbarton?

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.

Do you charge extra to travel to Dumbarton?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Dumbarton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

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.

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.
