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.
- Ceiling-safe working from crawl boards
- Breathable insulation where it suits the building

Questions about loft insulation for an older house in Mirfield
Can a landlord in Mirfield book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you take on jobs outside Mirfield?

Can loft insulation damage lath-and-plaster ceilings?
It can if people kneel between joists or if the ceiling is already weak. We work from boards and check the ceiling first.
Do I need permission to insulate a listed building's loft?
Possibly. Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the building's character. Ask your council's conservation officer.
