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
Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible

Questions about loft insulation in Rochford

How do I pay for work in Rochford?

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

How soon can you visit a home in Rochford?

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 Rochford?

Yes. We also work in Southend-on-Sea and Rayleigh and elsewhere in Essex.

Does loft insulation need building control approval?

On its own it usually does not, but the work still has to meet the energy standard. The rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the position for your address on the quote.

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.
