Can you see your joists? Then it needs topping up.

Why so many lofts need it
A lot of lofts were insulated years ago to the depth that was normal then, often just to the tops of the joists. It has usually settled since. If you can see timber, you’re well short of today’s commonly recommended depth.
How we do it
We roll the new layer across the joists, over what’s there, so the timber is covered and the depth is even. It’s quick and tidy.
When it’s not enough
If the old insulation is damp, dirty or full of droppings, it should come out first. We’ll tell you if that’s the case.
