Questions about loft insulation in Ripon
How many homes in Ripon are houses?
80% of households live in a house or bungalow and 20% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
Do you cover places near Ripon?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Knaresborough, Harrogate, Northallerton, Wetherby and Otley. See all the towns we list in North Yorkshire.
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.
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.
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.
