Settled loose-fill insulation was extracted with specialist equipment and replaced with a full 300mm of mineral wool, with ventilation improved.
Completed January 2026 • Terraced house
Measured Area
38m²
Duration
1 day
Location
Morley, Leeds
The Problem
The property had loose-fill blown-in insulation that had settled and compacted over time, leaving large areas of the loft with minimal effective coverage. The homeowner was aware of heat loss but unsure what type of insulation was present or what to do about it.
Assessment & Specification
The loft was assessed remotely using satellite imagery and the homeowner's description. The blown-in insulation had settled to approximately 60mm in most areas, with some sections virtually bare. Full removal and replacement with correctly specified mineral wool was recommended. Ventilation was evaluated on the day and lap vents were fitted at no extra cost.
Scope of Work
Complete removal of blown-in insulation using specialist equipment. Full 300mm mineral wool installation. Anti-fungal timber treatment where required. Lap vents fitted to improve airflow. All waste removed from site.
Outcome
The loft was left clean and properly insulated to current standards. The homeowner noted improved warmth and reduced draughts within days of completion.
How the Loft Was Assessed
The roof footprint was measured remotely from satellite imagery and cross-checked against photographs of the loft interior, which is how around 90% of our projects are quoted. The fixed price was issued in writing before the work was booked, so the figure agreed at the start was the figure paid at the end.
Ventilation, condensation risk and any pipe or tank insulation were assessed on the day of installation and dealt with then. Because those items are included as standard, no additional charge arose once work was underway.
Included at No Extra Cost
- Loft hatch insulation
- Lap vents at the eaves where ventilation needed protecting
- Pipe and cold water tank insulation
- Removal and disposal of all waste materials
- A completion certificate confirming the work carried out, the materials used and the insulation depths installed
Work Carried Out
- Granulated insulation removal
- 300mm mineral wool installation
- Lap vents
- Anti-fungal treatment
