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.
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Why book with us in Morpeth
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.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.

Questions about loft insulation in Morpeth
How soon can you visit a home in Morpeth?
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 you charge extra to travel to Morpeth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Morpeth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of NE61?
Yes, we cover the NE61 postcode district and the districts around Morpeth.
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.
