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.
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Waste packaging removed

Questions about loft insulation in Renfrew
Do you cover all of PA4?
Yes, we cover the PA4 postcode district and the districts around Renfrew.
Will I get a written quote for work in Renfrew?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Renfrew?
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.
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.
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.
