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.

Questions about loft insulation in North Shields
Do you charge extra to travel to North Shields?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to North Shields. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in North Shields?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in North Shields 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.
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.
