Loft Restore: old insulation out,
new insulation in.

Loft Restore logo

Loft Restore, run by DadLink Technologies, strips out old, damp or contaminated loft insulation, disposes of it, and fits new mineral wool insulation to 270mm or more. Loft boarding for storage on top if you want it. Fixed quote from your loft measurements, most jobs done in a day or two, across Cheshire, Greater Manchester and the North West.

Old loft insulation being removed and bagged
01 / The Work

Out with the old,
properly.

Old loft insulation that has got damp, compressed flat, been chewed by mice or contaminated by a leak is doing very little for your heating bills and is not something you want to lie new rolls on top of. We take it out, bag it, and get rid of it, then start again with a clean loft.

  • Full removal. Every old roll and every loose fill lifted, bagged in the loft and carried down. Nothing swept into corners.
  • Disposal included. Bagged waste taken away, or a skip on the drive for larger lofts. It is in the quote, not a surprise at the end.
  • Clean-down. Joists and the loft floor vacuumed and checked before anything new goes in.
  • Problems flagged. If we find a leak, rot, wiring lying in the insulation or a pipe that needs lagging, you hear about it before we cover it up.

02 / The Install

New insulation,
to the right depth.

Current guidance for a loft is 270mm of mineral wool, and we fit to that or more. Two layers: the first between the joists, the second laid across them so there are no cold gaps along the timber.

  • Branded mineral wool. Knauf loft roll from trade suppliers, the same product the big installers use, in 100mm and 170mm layers to reach 270mm or 300mm.
  • Two-layer method. Between the joists first, then across them, so the joists themselves are covered and do not act as cold bridges.
  • Eaves ventilation kept. Insulation stopped short of the eaves so the roof space can still breathe and you do not trade a cold loft for a damp one.
  • Pipes and tanks. Water pipes lagged and tanks jacketed where they sit above the insulation, because an insulated loft is a colder loft.
  • Top-ups. If the existing insulation is clean and dry but thin, we can add to it rather than replace it, and the quote says which.

03 / Boarding

Storage on top,
without squashing it.

Boards laid straight onto 270mm of insulation crush it flat and undo most of the benefit. We raise the boarding above the insulation so you get a solid storage deck and the full insulation depth underneath.

  • Raised boarding. A loft-legs or timber sub-frame raises the deck clear of the insulation so nothing is compressed.
  • 18mm chipboard. Tongue-and-groove loft panels screwed down, sized to fit through the hatch.
  • As much or as little as you want. A walkway to the tank, a landing around the hatch, or a full storage floor. Priced by area.
  • Hatch and ladder. Can be added or replaced at the same visit if you need safe access to the new space.

04 / How It Works

Measure, quote,
done in a day.

You do not need a survey visit to get a price. Send your loft measurements and a couple of photos through the online form and the quote comes back priced by area, with removal, disposal, materials and boarding itemised.

  • Online quote. Loft length and width, what is up there now, and whether you want boarding. Fixed price back by email.
  • Book a date. Most jobs are one day; a large loft with a full strip-out and boarding is two.
  • Dust sheets down. Landing and hatch area protected, old insulation bagged in the loft before it comes down the ladder.
  • Invoice and pay online. Invoice by email with a secure card payment link, and a note of what was fitted and to what depth for your records.
  • Small team, one contact. The person who quotes is the person who turns up. Phone 0161 524 5081.
