About this service
We lay insulation between the ceiling joists and a second layer across them, so the whole loft floor is covered evenly. We keep the edges of the roof clear for air, lag pipes and the tank, and insulate the hatch.
What’s included
- A look at your loft before we start
- Insulation between the joists
- A second layer across the joists
- The edges of the roof kept clear for airflow
- Pipes and tank protected from frost
- An insulated, draught-sealed hatch
We price the job after looking at your loft. You get a written quotation before any work is agreed.
Why the loft first
Warm air rises through the house and collects under the top-floor ceilings. With little insulation above, it passes into the roof space and out. Insulating the loft floor keeps that warmth in the bedrooms and landing, where you feel it.
How we do it
The first layer fills the gaps between the joists. The second runs across them so there are no cold lines of bare timber. We leave a gap at the eaves so air can move under the roof and keep it dry, and we move cables to sit on top.
Your choice of material
Most homes get mineral wool, which is good value and works well. If you’d prefer sheep’s wool or recycled polyester, ask and we’ll include it in your quote.
