According to the Energy Saving Trust, typically a house with 270 mm of loft insulation will save around £155 per year compared to a similar sized house with no loft insulation. Topping up insulation of 50mm could save about £45 per year. The diagram below shows how much heat you could be loosing from your house.

Our surveyor will check for any problems but Loft Insulation cannot be installed if:

• There is no access or access is restricted. There must be a hatch or other access point that one person can easily fit through. If there is no hatch or it is too small, most of our installers can arrange for one to be fitted.
• There are a large quantity of stored items and you are not prepared to clear them. Installers can work around a few items but they will not move large quantities for you.
• You need boards to be lifted for you. If your loft is boarded out we can lay insulation over the top. Alternatively, you can lift the boards before the insulation is laid and then replace them afterwards but they will have to be raised due to the extra thickness. We cannot lift or replace any boards for you.
• There is any damp present. Loft Insulation can help to prevent condensation but all other damp problems must be cured before it can be installed.
• You would like sloping roof (under the tiles), flat roof or underfloor insulation. We cannot obtain any grants nor install this type of insulation. We can only install insulation to the floor of a loft i.e. between and across the joists.
• You require Thermafleece or any other type of specialist loft insulation. We can only obtain grants for mineral wool insulation. Not many people realise that mineral wool is a natural product as it is derived from sand.

N.B. We cannot access Insulation Grants if you have done or intend to do the work yourself. Our grants only cover the supply AND installation of the material.

Free Survey

All grants are subject to a survey of your property. Surveys are however, free and without obligation.

Please note: We cannot provide you with an email or telephone quote, nor the level of grant available without a survey. Grants are not retrospective - if you already have insulation to the required standard, you cannot claim a grant after the event.
