Delivery to Newcastle upon Tyne: what helps

Rolls are compressed and wrapped; they are light but take up space, so tell us if storage is tight. Newcastle upon Tyne is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • On busy streets in Newcastle upon Tyne, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Getting the right mineral wool insulation

How much for a loft?

The common recommendation is 270 mm in total: usually 100 mm between the joists and 170 mm across them. Check the depth already there.

Keep it ventilated

When insulating a loft, keep eaves vents clear so the roof space stays ventilated.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
