Loft insulation is one of the simplest and cost-effective ways to save money on your energy bills and should pay for itself in no time at all. About a quarter of all heat escapes through the roof in uninsulated homes and the average household can save about £135 pounds per year through installing loft insulation*.
Mineral Wool Fibre is the most common product we fit into a loft space. This comes in rolls and is rolled out with the first layer laid between the joists and then a second layer at a right angle to cover the joists. Our fully trained and experienced installers can also insulate your tanks, pipes and loft hatch whilst ensuring the correct ventilation is maintained with your roof space.
If you have or are converting your loft into a living space we can insulate this for your by insulating the room itself rather than the loft floor. This creates a warm roof application. The walls in the roof space and any dormer windows are insulated usually using a rigid insulation board which we would then enclose with plasterboard ready for plastering and decorating.
