Loft Insulation Top-Up in Washington
Modern Building Regs specify 270mm loft insulation. Most homes we visit have 100–150mm — half what they should. A top-up during any roof works is trivially cheap and pays back in 2–3 winters of heating. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), out around Nissan Sunderland Plant, through Concord and Sulgrave.
- Top-up to current 270mm standard
- Cross-laid over existing insulation
- Loft hatch and eaves detail respected
- Ventilation preserved — no condensation risk
- Ideal add-on during any pitched-roof works
Washington context
Washington is unusual locally — the original new-town design means most properties share similar interlocking concrete tiles, and many roofs are reaching their 50-year mark together. Planned re-roofs are a big part of our work here. Regular access via A1(M) and A19. We're often out around Nissan Sunderland Plant.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Heavily new-town estates from the 1960s–1980s — interlocking concrete tile roofs are the dominant style across most districts.
