Review what is already in the loft
Loft Insulation
Explore new or additional loft insulation with the existing materials and use of the space in mind.
WHAT IT INVOLVES
Know what you’re asking for.
A loft used for storage presents different questions from a room within the roof. Describe any boarding, stored belongings or known damp. The assessment should consider access and ventilation before a specification is proposed.
What to discuss in the scope
- A proposed insulation specification for the assessed loft.
- An agreed scope covering the relevant areas and access arrangements.
Before the visit
- Gather records of existing insulation or roof work.
- Identify the hatch and explain boarding or access restrictions.
Worth knowing
A tailored quote must state whether clearance, boarding or repairs are included. Leave difficult access to the provider. An EPC improvement is not guaranteed.
