Cheap heat saved, but only when the roof can still breathe
Loft insulation is usually the cheapest energy improvement a house can have: many older homes have half the depth current standards call for, or insulation that has compressed and stopped working. Topping it up costs little compared with the heat it saves every winter.
The part that gets skipped is ventilation. Sealing a roof without airflow is how condensation and rot start, and we see the results of that mistake regularly in our spray foam removal work. Every insulation job we quote includes the ventilation the roof needs, not just the material in the loft. This is one of the services we carry out nationwide.
Insulation is usually cheap compared with the heat it saves, but it has to be paired with ventilation. Sealing a roof without airflow is how damp problems start. This is one of the services we cover nationwide.
Free no obligation surveyWhat the work covers
Loft Insulation, in detail
Loft and roof insulation
Mineral wool topped up or replaced to current standards, laid properly around services and hatches.
SuperFOIL multifoil
High-performance multifoil systems where depth is limited or the roof slope is being insulated.
SIPs eco panels
Structural insulated panels for extensions, garden studios and roof build-ups where the design suits them.
After spray foam removal
Re-insulation to current standards once foam has been removed and the timbers checked.
Ventilation and condensation control
Eaves and ridge airflow designed in, so the insulation never causes a damp problem.
Honest advice
What suits your building and budget, including when the answer is a cheap top-up rather than a premium system.

Questions
Loft Insulation questions, answered straight
How much loft insulation should I have?
Older homes commonly have half the depth current standards call for, or insulation that has compressed and stopped working. We measure what is there at the survey and quote for topping up or replacing to current standards.
Can you re-insulate after spray foam removal?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. Once the foam is out and the timbers checked, we re-insulate to current standards with the ventilation the roof should have had in the first place. See our spray foam removal service.
What are SIPs and are they worth it?
Structural insulated panels carry load and insulate in one panel. They suit settled designs and garden studios more than small irregular extensions. Our guide SIPs and eco panels explained covers the trade-offs.
Why do you keep talking about ventilation?
Because insulation without airflow traps moisture, and that is how condensation and rot start. Every insulation quote we give includes the ventilation the roof needs, not just the material in the loft.
