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.
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Why book with us in Kilburn
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
How much does loft insulation cost in Kilburn?

Questions about loft insulation in Kilburn
What do I need to do before you arrive in Kilburn?
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.
Can a landlord in Kilburn book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Is loft work in Kilburn 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.
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.
