πŸ’‘ What Is Loft Insulation?

Loft insulation prevents heat from escaping through the roof by installing insulating materials along the loft floor or roof slopes.

There are two main types:

🧊 Cold-roof insulation – installed across the loft floor to keep warmth in the rooms below.
β˜€οΈ Warm-roof insulation – fixed to the underside of the roof structure, ideal for converted lofts or β€œrooms-in-roof”.

Both methods create a thermal barrier that traps heat in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer, improving overall comfort and reducing energy costs.

🌑️ Why Loft Insulation Is Essential

Without proper insulation, around a quarter of household heat is lost through the roof. That means higher heating bills, cold spots, and uneven room temperatures.
Installing modern insulation:

πŸ”₯ Retains warmth for longer
πŸ’· Improves EPC ratings and property value
πŸ’§ Reduces condensation, damp, and mould risk
🌍 Cuts energy consumption and carbon emissions

A well-insulated home is warmer, healthier, and cheaper to run.

βœ… Key Benefits of Loft Insulation

🏑 Reduces up to 25% of heat loss through the roof
πŸ’° Lowers energy bills and improves energy efficiency
😌 Provides consistent indoor comfort
πŸ’§ Reduces condensation, damp and mould
⚑ Quick, tidy installation with minimal disruption
πŸ“ˆ Boosts EPC rating and property value
♻️ Eco-friendly and sustainable
πŸ› οΈ Meets all Building Regulation standards

πŸ“ Recommended Loft Insulation Thickness

Modern building regulations recommend 270 mm of mineral wool insulation as a minimum.
Many homes in North Wales, Wirral, and Cheshire still have only 100 mm or less, meaning they’re losing valuable heat and money.
Upgrading to the full specification dramatically improves energy performance and comfort.

🧱 Materials We Use

We only use BBA-approved insulation materials, installed by trained professionals:

πŸͺ΅ Isover Insulation – non-combustible and ideal for loft floors
🌬️ Blown-Fibre Insulation – perfect for hard-to-reach spaces
🧊 PIR Boards – rigid insulation for roof slopes and conversions
✨ Multifoil Insulation – reflective, space-saving layers for tight roof voids
πŸ”© Ancillaries – raised deck systems, insulated hatches, draught seals, tank jackets, and pipe lagging

Every installation is tailored to your property for optimum performance, safety, and compliance.

Our Loft Insulation Installation Process

πŸ” Initial Inspection & Quotation – We assess your loft, ventilation, and insulation depth.
🧹 Preparation – Clear debris, remove old or damp insulation, and ensure safe access.
🧯 Air Sealing & Ventilation – Seal gaps and maintain eaves airflow to prevent condensation.
🧰 Installation – Lay insulation evenly to the correct depth without blocking ventilation paths.
πŸ“¦ Storage & Access Solutions – Optional raised boarding systems for safe storage.
βœ… Completion & Aftercare – Final checks, ventilation testing, and full aftercare advice.

πŸ’¨ Ventilation, Condensation & Damp Prevention

Effective insulation requires balanced airflow.
We ensure your loft remains ventilated and dry by:

πŸ”§ Checking and rerouting bathroom or kitchen vents externally
🧊 Lagging pipework and water tanks
🌬️ Maintaining eaves vents for moisture control

This prevents condensation build-up and protects your roof structure and timbers.

πŸͺœ Raised loft boarding for safe storage without compressing insulation
πŸšͺ Insulated and draught-sealed loft hatches
πŸ’‘ Fire-rated light covers for electrical safety
