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.
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Mineral wool to 270 to 300 mm across the whole loft floor
- Waste packaging removed
Why book with us in Whitley Bay
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.

Questions about loft insulation in Whitley Bay
Do you charge extra to travel to Whitley Bay?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Whitley Bay. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in Whitley Bay?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Will I get a written quote for work in Whitley Bay?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
How long does it take to insulate a loft?
Most lofts in houses take a single day. A large bungalow loft, a loft that needs clearing first or one with awkward access can run into a second day.
