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
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze

Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How long does it take to insulate a loft?
