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.
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible

Questions about loft insulation in Bathgate
Do you cover all of EH48?
Yes, we cover the EH48 postcode district and the districts around Bathgate.
Can you visit Bathgate outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you take on jobs outside Bathgate?
Yes. We also work in Livingston and Broxburn and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
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.
