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.
- Waste packaging removed
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor

Questions about loft insulation in Alton
Do you take on jobs outside Alton?
Yes. We also work in Bordon and Basingstoke and elsewhere in Hampshire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Alton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Alton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Alton 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.
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.
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.
