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
- Tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft

Questions about loft insulation in Longton
How soon can you visit a home in Longton?
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 Longton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Longton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Longton book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
