Questions about loft insulation in Dronfield
How many homes in Dronfield are houses?
92% of households live in a house or bungalow and 8% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
Do you cover places near Dronfield?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Brimington, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Staveley and Swallownest and Aston. See all the towns we list in Derbyshire.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.
How deep should my loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is the depth commonly recommended for mineral wool. We’ll suggest a depth for your loft in the quote.
