Is insulation suitable for all homes?

Most properties can benefit from some form of insulation. Older homes or those with damp issues, flat roofs, or complex layouts may require specialist materials or additional ventilation solutions.

How long does insulation last?

Most insulation materials have a lifespan of at least 40 years, and many last the lifetime of the property without needing replacement, as long as they remain dry and undisturbed.

Do I need to remove old insulation before adding new?

Not always. In many cases, installers can top up existing insulation. However, if it’s damp, mouldy, or contaminated, removal and replacement will be necessary.

Will insulation save me money on energy bills?

Yes. Installing insulation can reduce annual heating bills by £200–£400 on average, depending on your home’s size, existing insulation levels, and energy usage.

Can I still use my loft for storage after insulation?

Yes, but you may need raised loft boarding installed above the insulation. This prevents compression, which would otherwise reduce effectiveness.

Plastering- 28 Apr 2021
Jay came to price the job after making contact and his communication was clear. We live in a very old house with lots of quirks; he took this into account and saved us a bit of money with the plastering. Plaster was falling off the ceiling and a couple of walls and he inspected the whole room, telling us we were fine to leave two of the walls as they were, as all seemed solid. I imagine he could have told us to have the whole room done, but instead we only had done what was needed. Jay managed to slot us in quickly, completing the work over two half days (allowing the pre-plaster adhesive coat to dry over night), finishing the job on a Saturday morning as a team of two. The price quoted was what we were charged. It's now been about a month since the work was completed, and we're very happy with the results. The room was skimmed nicely and the surface was very smooth. We coated it with Screwfix bare plaster paint before giving it a top coat, and the finish is great. We'll be using him again for future jobs and I have no problems recommending him.

Insulation- 8 Feb 2019
Shawn was great, from start to finish. He's polite, friendly, honest, professional, reliable, communicative and certainly knows his stuff. He's accommodating and will try and fit me in around my schedule. He's very prompt and arrived as he said. He puts out dust sheets on my flooring to ensure they don't get dirty. He cleans and tidy up after himself once job was done. The actual work of the loft insulation and bordering was very good. I am very happy he got in touch when I first enquired - would certainly recommend him :) Thank you!

Landscaping- 3 Jun 2021
On our first meeting I felt comfortable and was glad of input from Robin. Agreed to a plan and only had to wait a few weeks before work could start. All preparations made to protect my drive before skip arrived. All work carried out in a very professional manner and team were very polite and friendly. Even though weather was against ground works they provided shelter so work could continue. I’ve been very pleased with their approach and can’t fault the outcome. Although met with a couple of delays on garden furniture, (nothing to do with Robin and his team, circumstances outside control)all other aspects of this job have met with my approval. Was apprehensive of having people in but can honestly say there have not been any issues and when the skip was removed within an hour, Robin was back on site to clear and wash down the drive. So looking as good as new. It’s been a pleasure having them on my property and will look at using their services again in the future should the need arise. Nothing too much bother. So my thanks to them all.

Bathroom Fitting- 16 Apr 2018
Mark & Shaun have done a wonderful job in modernising my second bathroom. I do not drive and Mark personally took me to the appropriate shops to buy the wallboards and the bathroom suite. The job was done on time and on budget and done to a very high standard and Mark & Shaun tidied up afterwards. On the basis of the work that was carried out, I would highly recommend Mark & Shaun.
