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.

Questions about loft insulation in Hatfield

Will I get a written quote for work in Hatfield?

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

Can you visit Hatfield outside working hours?

Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Do you cover all of AL10?

Yes, we cover the AL10 postcode district and the districts around Hatfield.

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.

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.
