Save you up to £480 in energy bills a year.​

Uninsulated properties generally lose 45% of the heat generated by their central heating system.

Keep heat from going up the roof

Most of the heat loss happens in the loft of your home because of the fact that warm air rises. This means that keeping your loft insulated is essential to keeping your home warm and your energy bills low.

Loft insulation is the process of laying down insulation material between the joists of your loft. This prevents heat from escaping during winter, as well as preventing it from penetrating your living spaces in the summer.

Due to the relative simplicity of the process, loft insulation is one of the cheaper insulation methods out in the market. Add a 40 year lifespan into the mix, and you have an effective insulation method that essentially pays for itself several times over, thanks to lowered energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions.

For Accessible Lofts:

Loft Insulation involves placing rolls of mineral wool insulation between the joists in your loft. One layer of insulation material will be placed between the joists. A second layer should be placed over the joists and additional layers must be added on top of it until a certain depth requirement is met. The additional depth is needed to effectively prevent heat from passing through the insulation material.

For Inaccessible Lofts:

Lofts that are difficult to access can still be insulated with cellulose fibre or mineral wool using blown insulation. There’s also an option to use spray foam insulation to handle the problem of small spaces, like those in an inaccessible loft.

Installing Loft Insulation results in:

  • A low cost, high performance insulation measure.
  • Reduced heat loss and CO2 emissions.
  • Lower energy bills.
  • Reduced carbon footprint.
  • Protection against mould, and condensation.
  • Improved Weather proofing and impact resistance.
  • Improved draught proofing.
  • Higher energy performance ratings.
  • Increased property value.

Loft insulation prevents heat from escaping into your loft. This will inevitably cause your loft to be significantly colder in the winter. A cold loft isn’t a problem on its own, but if water vapor finds its way through your loft space, then the cold atmosphere will cause it to condense. Condensation leads to damp spots which in turn creates the perfect environment for mould to grow.

This means that it’s necessary to damp-proof your loft before considering loft insulation.

Insulating the roof is also a requirement should you want to use your loft as a living space.

In the case that you want to use your loft as a place to store water tanks, then it is necessary to insulate the tanks and pipes as well to prevent them from freezing in the winter.

The cost of installing Loft Insulation can vary depending on the condition of your loft, the type of insulation system currently installed, and the size of your property.
