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.
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor

Questions about loft insulation in Ashington
Do you cover all of NE63?
Yes, we cover the NE63 postcode district and the districts around Ashington.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Ashington?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Ashington?
Yes. We also work in Bedlington and Blyth and elsewhere in Northumberland.
Does loft insulation need building control approval?
On its own it usually does not, but the work still has to meet the energy standard. The rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the position for your address on the quote.
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.
