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 Hoddesdon

Can a landlord in Hoddesdon book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

Do you take on jobs outside Hoddesdon?

Yes. We also work in Ware and Hertford and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Hoddesdon?

Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.

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.

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.
