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.
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
- Waste packaging removed
Why book with us in Gillingham
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.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
How much does loft insulation cost in Gillingham?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Questions about loft insulation in Gillingham
Do you charge extra to travel to Gillingham?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Gillingham. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Gillingham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How soon can you visit a home in Gillingham?
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 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.
How long does it take to insulate a loft?
Most lofts in houses take a single day. A large bungalow loft, a loft that needs clearing first or one with awkward access can run into a second day.
