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 Gloucester

How do I pay for work in Gloucester?

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

Do you charge extra to travel to Gloucester?

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

Can a landlord in Gloucester book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

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.

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.
