81% are houses or bungalows; 17% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?

Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.
