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 Borehamwood

Do you charge extra to travel to Borehamwood?

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

How do I pay for work in Borehamwood?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Will I get a written quote for work in Borehamwood?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

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.

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.
