Insulation that’s in good condition may be left in place however, we find that many loft spaces have poor and underperforming insulation that is ripped, dusty and water damaged. If this is identified, Key Loft Storage fully recommend the removal and replacement of old insulation.
If your insulation hasn’t been replaced in decades, then it’s likely to be ineffective, resulting in heat loss from your home. Dirty insulation could also signify that pests such as mice, rats or birds have been nesting in your loft. The presence of pests results in an unhealthy and dangerous living environment.
The most common choice of insulation is known as the ‘cold loft’ option. This involves insulation being laid in between joists, with an additional layer being laid over the top which will support trapping in heat within your home.
On average, professionally installed insulation should last between 20-30 years depending on the manufacturer.
Insulation laid too thickly, or packed too tightly, can block required air flow within your loft space. Preventing moisture from escaping and can result in mould and damp build up.
We would always recommend that insulation is not laid tight to the eaves of the loft as this can block air flow.
