Should I remove the old insulation?

Only if it is wet, soiled by pests or contains anything suspect. Clean, dry insulation stays and we top it up.

Will a deeper loft stop me storing things?

Not with raised boarding. The boards sit on legs above the insulation, so you keep the storage and the warmth.

Is there a grant for this?

Some schemes exist and change often. We will tell you what applies at the time of your survey.

Do you charge for a survey?

Surveys are free. We measure headroom, joists, insulation depth and wiring, then send an itemised quote within two working days. A WhatsApp video through the hatch often gets you a guide price first.

Can you board over my existing insulation?

Yes, on a raised system. The boards sit on legs above the insulation, so it stays at full depth and keeps working.

Do I need a separate electrician for loft lighting?

No. We are NICEIC registered. Loft lighting and sockets are fitted, tested and certified by us.

How long does a loft job take?

A ladder, hatch and walkway is usually one day. Full boarding with insulation and lighting is one to two days.

Which areas do you cover?

Brighton, Hove and Sussex within 25 miles of Brighton. If you are outside that, ask. We often say yes.

Yes. £2m public liability insurance. We can send the certificate before we start.

Access and storage

Loft Insulation

A quarter of a home's heat can leave through the roof. Insulation is cheap to do properly and expensive to do badly. We top up or replace to the recommended 270mm, cross-laid so there are no gaps, and we keep the eaves open so the roof timbers stay dry.

Sound familiar?

The problems we get called about.

If any of these sound like your loft, send a photo through the hatch and we will tell you what it needs.

Thin, patchy insulation that has slumped over the years.
Insulation stuffed into the eaves, blocking the airflow the roof needs.
A cold bedroom under a loft that has never been insulated.
Old insulation soiled by pests and never replaced.

What is included

What we do, line by line.

Depth check across the whole loft, not just by the hatch.
Mineral wool laid between and then across the joists to 270mm.
Eaves ventilation kept clear with trays where needed.
Hatch lid insulated and draught-sealed.
Pipes and tanks above the insulation lagged so they do not freeze.
Downlights protected with fire-rated covers before insulation goes over them.
