Planning the drop in Rayleigh

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

  • In summer Rayleigh gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SS6 are priced to the exact address.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Estimating your mineral wool insulation

A 7 × 5 m loft (35 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 5 rolls of 100 mm and 8 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator

Choosing mineral wool insulation

Keep it ventilated

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

Glass or stone wool?

Glass wool rolls are light and economical for lofts. Stone wool slabs are denser and often chosen for acoustics and fire stopping.

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.

Mineral Wool Insulation questions

Does mineral wool help with sound?

Yes. Acoustic rolls and slabs in stud walls and floors reduce sound passing between rooms.

Do I need protective gear?

Wear gloves, long sleeves and a dust mask when handling mineral wool, as it can irritate skin and eyes.

Do you deliver mineral wool insulation to trades and homeowners in Rayleigh?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can I add other materials to my Rayleigh delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from mineral wool insulation to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
