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.
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
Why book with us in Romsey
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about loft insulation in Romsey
How soon can you visit a home in Romsey?
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 charge extra to travel to Romsey?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Romsey. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Romsey?
Yes. We also work in Totton and Eastleigh and elsewhere in Hampshire.
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.
Does loft insulation need building control approval?
On its own it usually does not, but the work still has to meet the energy standard. The rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the position for your address on the quote.
