Heat rises, and in an uninsulated home, a quarter of heat is lost through the roof. Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills*. *Energy saving trust
Loft insulation is effective for at least 42 years and it should pay for itself many times over.
If your loft is easy to access and has no damp or condensation problems, it should be easy to insulate.
Loft insulation is easy and quick to install using rolls of mineral wool insulation. The first layer is laid between the joists – the horizontal beams that make up the ‘floor’ of the loft – then another layer is cross-laid at right angles to cover the joists and make the insulation up to the required depth.
Insulating between the joists of your loft will keep your house warmer but make the roof space above colder. Pipes and water tanks will be more likely to freeze, so you will need to insulate them. If your water tanks are some distance from the loft hatch, you will also need something to walk on for safe access.
The cooler air in your insulated loft could mean that cold draughts come through the loft hatch. To prevent this fit an insulated loft hatch and put strips of draught-excluding material around the hatch edges.
almost all the loft can create as a storage space but that need to do in correct method by not removing insulation. the correct method of doing insulation is raised loft boarding system. boarding platform need to increase to go over the insulation with air gap between. maximum storage 25 kg per square meters and person can walk inside the loft.
If we ask someone “is your loft insulated?” most of them will said YES but next question is “ is it in correct standard?” then people getting struggle to find the answer so Domestic properties in UK loft insulation standard is 270mm thickness and some of new build they do 350mm to 400mm thickness of loft insulation. some of the traditional property has no insulation or not up to latest standard. Some of those traditional properties we found 25mm, 50mm or 100mm thickness of insulation.
By insulating up to latest standard 270mm thickness or higher property may be able to save energy escaping from your loft and as a result you may get more comfort, save some money, and also increase property value.

A small amount of boarding is allowed, but if there is more than 20% you will need to have the boards lifted before the work is carried out. If you intend on replacing the boards, the joists will have to be raised with blocks or any other loft boarding system due to the extra thickness of the Insulation.
Installers can work around a few items, but if there is too much we advise you to remove them. Our Installers will not be able to do this.
