Which areas near Longfield, New Ash Green and Hartley do you cover?

My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?

Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.

How long does the work take?

A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.

My house is detached with a large loft. What should I expect?

More area to cover, so more insulation and a longer job, and plenty of room for boarded storage if you want it. Keeping the eaves clear for ventilation across the whole loft matters more in a big roof space.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
