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.

Waste packaging removed
Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible

Questions about loft insulation in Livingston

What do I need to do before you arrive in Livingston?

Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.

Will I get a written quote for work in Livingston?

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

Do you charge extra to travel to Livingston?

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

Do I need to empty my loft first?

The floor needs to be clear for the insulation to go down. If moving things yourself is difficult, tell us at the survey and we can price clearing and putting items back on raised boarding.

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.
