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.

Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze

Questions about loft insulation in Musselburgh

Do you charge extra to travel to Musselburgh?

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

How soon can you visit a home in Musselburgh?

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 take on jobs outside Musselburgh?

Yes. We also work in Bonnyrigg and Edinburgh and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

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.

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.
