How long does the work take?

Most lofts are done in a day. Taking out old insulation or adding boarding can add time; the quote will say.

My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?

Where will the insulation go?

On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
