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.

Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze

Questions about loft insulation in Minehead

What do I need to do before you arrive in Minehead?

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 charge extra to travel to Minehead?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Minehead. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

Can a landlord in Minehead book work for a tenanted house?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

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.

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.
