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

Questions about loft insulation in Lowestoft

Do you charge extra to travel to Lowestoft?

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

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

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 do I pay for work in Lowestoft?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Can you insulate around downlights?

Recessed downlights need clearance or a fire-rated cover so they do not overheat. We fit covers where needed and leave a clear zone around fittings that cannot be covered.

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.
