Attic Insulation Woodcroft Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Woodcroft that hold their depth

Attics in Woodcroft lose depth over time — insulation settles, someone crawls through it for a wiring job, and the corners near the eaves are usually thin to begin with. A top-up is only worth doing if the baffles are clear and the ceiling below is sealed, so that is what we check before quoting.

• Existing insulation levelled before the top-up
• Air sealing at pot lights, top plates and the attic hatch
• Depth markers left in place so the result is verifiable
• Attic hatch insulated and weatherstripped
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe
• Blown-in loose-fill to the depth your permit specifies

Attic Insulation Woodcroft Edmonton: your questions answered

I store things in my attic. Can I keep doing that?

Yes, but the plywood squashes the insulation beneath it to joist depth. Either the storage area gets raised on a platform above the finished depth, or it stays as a deliberately weaker zone kept small. We will not top up around it and pretend it is not there.

Cellulose or fibreglass?

Both work when installed to depth with the ceiling sealed underneath. Cellulose is denser and resists air movement better; fibreglass is lighter and settles less. We pick based on what is already up there and tell you why.

How much will this save me on heating?

We will not put a percentage on it. Too much depends on your air leakage, windows and furnace. We will tell you what depth you have now, what you would have after, and where the leaks are — those we can actually measure.

How much insulation should my attic have?

It is settled depth and even coverage that decide performance, not the product name. We set depth markers before blowing so the result is measurable, and check the corners rather than just the area near the hatch.

My bathroom fan seems to vent into the attic. Is that a problem?

Yes, and it needs correcting before insulating. It dumps warm wet air into the coldest part of the house, and burying it under fresh insulation hides a moisture source that will show up later as frost and staining.

Will you block my soffit vents?

No. Baffles hold the insulation back at the eaves so air can still move from the soffits to the ridge. A blocked attic gets damp no matter how much insulation is in it.
