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.
- Waste packaging removed
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
Why book with us in Welwyn Garden City
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
How much does loft insulation cost in Welwyn Garden City?

Questions about loft insulation in Welwyn Garden City
Do you take on jobs outside Welwyn Garden City?
Yes. We also work in Hatfield and Hertford and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
Can a landlord in Welwyn Garden City 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 charge extra to travel to Welwyn Garden City?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Welwyn Garden City. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
How deep should loft insulation be?
The Energy Saving Trust recommends at least 270 mm of mineral wool, and that is the depth we install as standard. Building regulations also set an energy standard for the roof when a loft is insulated. It differs between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the target for your address on the quote.
