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.
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft

Questions about loft insulation in Newtown
Can you visit Newtown outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Newtown?
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 Newtown?
Yes. We also work in Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells and elsewhere in Powys.
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.
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.
