What is different about insulating an older home's loft?

We work from crawl boards spanning several joists so the ceilings are not loaded, check for loose plaster keys before anything is laid, and usually recommend vapour-open insulation such as sheep's wool or wood fibre. Unfelted slate roofs are naturally well ventilated, but they let in wind-driven rain and snow, which the insulation has to cope with. More about loft insulation for an older house.

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

We measure before we quote

Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Fixed written price

The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.

Eaves kept clear

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