The Case for Loft Insulation

Up to 25% of a home’s heat escapes through an uninsulated roof. Loft insulation is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make — typically paying back its cost within 2–3 years through reduced energy bills alone.

Lower Energy Bills

Save up to £250 annually by cutting heat loss through the roof — the single biggest source of domestic heat loss.

Year-Round Comfort

Traps warmth in winter and keeps excess heat out in summer, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.

Condensation Prevention

Proper insulation reduces moisture buildup in the loft space — preventing the damp and mould that damage timbers and ceilings.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Using less energy to heat your home directly cuts your household CO₂ emissions — without any change to your lifestyle.

Higher Property Value

An improved EPC rating can increase your property’s market value and rental appeal — increasingly important under post-2025 EPC rules.

40-Year Lifespan

Modern mineral wool insulation is virtually maintenance-free and remains effective for up to four decades.

What We Use and Why

All materials we install are BBA-approved, fire-resistant, and selected for their thermal efficiency. We advise on the best option for your property type and budget.

Most popular

Mineral Wool (Glass Wool)

The industry-standard choice. Excellent thermal performance (λ 0.032–0.044 W/m·K), non-combustible, and cost-effective. Suitable for the vast majority of London loft types.

Traditional

Fibreglass Insulation

Proven, affordable, and widely available. Excellent acoustic insulation properties alongside strong thermal performance. Ideal for straightforward pitched lofts.

Eco-friendly

Recycled & Natural Wool

For homeowners prioritising sustainability. Natural wool is hygroscopic — it can absorb and release moisture without losing thermal performance, beneficial in damp-prone lofts.

Loft Insulation FAQs

How much does loft insulation cost in London?
Costs depend on loft size, access, whether old insulation needs removing, and the material chosen. A standard semi-detached property typically falls in the £300–£600 range for a full 270mm installation. We provide itemised, fixed-price quotes after a free survey — call 020 4542 6114 to arrange yours.
Which type of loft insulation is best?
For most London homes, mineral wool (glass wool or rock wool) is the best balance of thermal performance, cost, fire resistance, and longevity. If sustainability is a priority, natural sheep’s wool is an excellent option. We assess your specific loft and recommend accordingly — there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Should I remove old loft insulation before laying new?
In most cases yes. Old insulation — particularly if damp, compressed, or vermin-damaged — will reduce the performance of new material laid on top of it. It can also trap moisture, accelerating timber decay. We assess the existing material during the survey and only recommend removal when genuinely necessary.
Can I get my loft insulated for free under ECO4?
Possibly. The ECO4 scheme obliges larger energy suppliers to fund insulation for eligible households — typically those receiving means-tested benefits or living in properties with an EPC rating of D or below. We help eligible homeowners apply. Call us to check whether you qualify — there is no cost to check eligibility.
How long does loft insulation installation take?
A standard loft insulation installation typically takes half a day (3–5 hours) for a two- or three-bedroom property. Larger lofts or those requiring old insulation removal may take a full day. We confirm the expected duration at the quotation stage.
Does loft insulation cause condensation or damp?
Correctly installed loft insulation should not cause condensation — but incorrectly installed insulation that blocks eaves ventilation can do so. This is one reason a pre-installation survey matters. We always maintain eaves gaps and assess ventilation as part of installation. If your loft already has a damp issue, we identify and address it before insulating.
Is 270mm of loft insulation enough?
270mm is the current recommended depth per Energy Saving Trust and UK Building Regulations guidance — typically achieved with a 100mm layer between joists and a 170mm layer across them. This gives a U-value of approximately 0.16 W/m²K, exceeding current Part L standards for existing dwellings.
