Loft insulation grants help to reduce heat escaping from your home

Your home could be losing up to a quarter of your its heat through the roof. Loft insulation can provide an instant reduction in heat loss and immediately create a warmer environment in your home.

Lofts/roofs can be insulated fairly easily using insulation blankets, which are laid on the floor of your attic space. In order to minimise wastage and ensure the loft space is adequately insulated, it is best to use a trained professional or an insulation firm to do the job.

What is loft insulation?

Insulation blankets (typically mineral wool or fibreglass) are laid on the floor of your attic space between rafters. The blankets’ thermal property dramatically reduces the amount of warm air that can escape from your home, which means less energy is needed to heat individual rooms in your property.

To ensure that adequate insulation is installed and that waste is minimised, it is best to use a trained professional or an insulation firm to do the job. They will also fit insulation to exposed pipes and provide thermal jackets to hot water tanks where appropriate.

I am really happy with the service I received. I had free survey done and the person who did it was very polite and explained exactly what work would be carried out. The men who installed the insulation were very nice and they turned up on time. They didn't make a mess and were really efficient. Ms S Hill
