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 Edinburgh

Do you cover all of EH2?

Yes, we cover the EH2 postcode district and the districts around Edinburgh.

How do I pay for work in Edinburgh?

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

Will I get a written quote for work in Edinburgh?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

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.

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.
