F.A.Q

 

What are the benefits of loft insulation?

 

Loft insulation helps reduce heat loss through the roof, making your home warmer, more comfortable, and more energy efficient.

 

How much could I save with loft insulation?

 

Savings vary depending on the property and existing insulation levels, but improving loft insulation can reduce heating bills by up to £350 per year

 

Do I need to remove my existing loft insulation?

 

Not usually. Existing insulation is often topped up unless it is damaged or affecting ventilation.

 

How thick should loft insulation be?

The current recommendation is 270mm of mineral wool insulation.

 

Will I still be able to use the loft for storage?

 

In many cases, yes. Raised boarding systems can be installed for storage while maintaining insulation performance.

 

How long does loft insulation installation take?

 

Most domestic loft insulation installations are completed within one day.

 

Is the survey free?

 

Yes. JMJ provide free insulation surveys followed by a formal written estimate.

 

Will the installation create much mess?

 

Our team works in a clean and controlled manner and tidy up as work progresses.

 

Is funding available for loft insulation in Scotland?

 

Many properties qualify for funding through the Home Energy Scotland grant schemes.

What is underfloor insulation?

 

Underfloor insulation is installed beneath suspended timber floors to reduce heat loss and improve comfort.

 

What are the benefits of underfloor insulation?

 

Many customers notice warmer floors, improved comfort, and reduced draughts.

 

Can suspended timber floors be insulated?

 

Yes. Most suspended timber floors can be insulated. In many cases, this can be done from below the floor, helping to minimise disruption.

 

Will ventilation still be maintained?

 

Yes. Maintaining essential sub-floor ventilation is a key part of the installation process.

 

Will floorboards need to be lifted?

 

Sometimes. This depends on access conditions and floor construction. A home survey will determine this.

 

How long does underfloor insulation take?

 

Most domestic underfloor installations are completed within one day.

 

Is underfloor insulation suitable for every property?

 

No. Each property should be assessed individually for suitability.

 

Will the installation be disruptive?

 

We aim to minimise disruption and complete works safely and efficiently.

 

Can I get funding for underfloor insulation?

 

Many homeowners qualify for funding support through Home Energy Scotland

 

How do I arrange a survey?

 

Contact JMJ to arrange a free insulation survey and formal estimate.

Testimonials

Michael

I approached JMJ to quote for insulation in our old property prior to a heat pump insulation John visited and advised that what I wanted to do could be done by them. A very reasonable quote was received the next day followed by a request by me to double the workload. This was dealt with immediately with an agreed start date. The day before the start I received confirmation that they would arrive tomorrow and start, the team were efficient, took time to avoid any damage to floors etc and kept us fully informed over the two days. The job was completed on time to my specs and spot on budget. I would add that I ran my own property management company for 15 years and have dealt with many contractors but JMJ have shown to be one of the best I have used, a shame I have now retired.
