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.

Questions about loft insulation in Urmston
What do I need to do before you arrive in Urmston?
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.
How soon can you visit a home in Urmston?
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 cover all of M41?
Yes, we cover the M41 postcode district and the districts around Urmston.
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.
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.
