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
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft

Questions about loft insulation in Callander
Is loft work in Callander different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Do you cover all of FK17?
Yes, we cover the FK17 postcode district and the districts around Callander.
How do I pay for work in Callander?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
