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.

Why book with us in Ramsbottom

We measure before we quote

Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Boarding done properly

Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about loft insulation in Ramsbottom

Do you charge extra to travel to Ramsbottom?

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

Is loft work in Ramsbottom 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 take on jobs outside Ramsbottom?

Yes. We also work in Bury and Heywood and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.

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.

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.
