Loft Insulation

Insulating your loft is one of the most effective methods of saving energy in your home. As heat rises, homes without proper insulation will lose roughly 25% of heat through roof, because they are unable to retain heat effectively. In turn, this means that more heat needs to be generated in order to maintain warmth in your house. Having your loft insulated is a fantastic investment for your home, some homes are heated by electricity.

When your loft is insulated, the floor is completely covered using high performance insulation. This causes the heat that is rising to be retained in the home, because it is unable to rise into the loft and be lost through the roof. With a vast selection of insulating materials available, we will be happy to offer advise on a material that is suitable for your home.

With funding available from government incentives such as the “ECO Funding scheme”, many homeowners are taking advantage of insulating their home, often completely free of charge.

How much you can save

England, Scotland and Wales

According to the Energy Saving Trust, you could save:

If access is easy and your loft joists are regular, you can use rolls of mineral wool insulation. The first layer is laid between the joists – the horizontal beams that make up the floor of the loft – then another layer is laid at right angles to cover the joists and make the insulation up to the required depth. This can be done by someone competent in DIY or a professional installer.
