Questions about loft insulation in Haxby
What are most homes in Haxby like?
The most common are detached houses (50% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 32%.
My loft is large. Will natural insulation cost a lot more?
It costs more than mineral wool, and a bigger loft makes the difference larger. Your quote can show both so you can compare.
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.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
