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 Walkden
How do I pay for work in Walkden?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Walkden outside working hours?

How deep should loft insulation be?
The Energy Saving Trust recommends at least 270 mm of mineral wool, and that is the depth we install as standard. Building regulations also set an energy standard for the roof when a loft is insulated. It differs between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the target for your address on the quote.
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.
