Is a big loft a problem?

No, it just takes more material and a little longer. Larger lofts also leave more room for raised storage boarding above the insulation if you want it.

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
