An uninsulated loft can reduce your home’s energy efficiency by 25%

Long-lasting loft insulation is quick to install and helps you maintain your home temperature, considerably lowering your heating bills.

Did you know that many homeowners across the UK are eligible for grant funding for room in roof insulation? Installing insulation material in loft space can drastically improve a home’s energy efficiency.

So, whether you’ve had – or are planning – a loft conversion, or you simply need insulation for your loft room, you may be eligible for roof insulation grants.Interested? Contact us today to find out.

How standard loft insulation works

Loft insulation is quick and easy to install.

1
Insulation material
A survey is performed at your home to determine the best insulation material. Mineral wool, cellulose, and foam board are all excellent performers within a roof space.
2
Installation
Insulation material is laid in between the rafters and the floor of the loft for maximum insulation.
3
Warmer in winter
The wool, cellulose, or foam insulation then creates a barrier to stop warm air from leaving through your roof space.
4
Cooler in summer
Insulation is not only effective in the winter; it prevents excessive heat from entering through the roof in the summer months, keeping the property at a cooler average temperature.

How much money can you save with room in roof insulation?

What are the benefits of room in roof insulation?


Reduce heating bills
You can save a substantial amount of money on your heating bills with loft insulation as your property will retain heat much more efficiently, requiring less energy to heat your home.
Reduce heat loss
A poorly insulated home will lose heat through its roof, requiring more energy to keep the property at a comfortable temperature. Room in roof insulation, however, can help to keep your home warmer for longer by keeping heat loss to a minimum.
Save energy
Increased heat loss leads to the boiler being overused, which increases bills and reduces your energy efficiency, resulting in wasted energy. Unlike loft conversion insulation, which can save your home a lot of wasted energy.
Lower carbon footprint
Wasted energy leads to a higher carbon footprint. Help the environment by using less energy with insulation boards and other materials in your loft space
How much does room in roof insulation cost?
How long does the insulation process take?

Depending on the size of the property and the task at hand, it can take one or two days to complete room in roof insulation.

Sloping ceilings can offer a challenge for installers, which adds time to the installation process, but our professionals are adept at dealing with all types of situations.

Standard loft insulation can take between one and two hours to one day to complete, depending on the space.

What if I don’t qualify for roof insulation grants?

Funding available with government-backed grants

As part of the UK government’s initiative to cut carbon emissions, grants are available to fund energy-efficient upgrades to homes with low energy ratings.

If you are living on a low-income or receive income-related benefits, you could be eligible to receive full funding for home insulation, air source heating and solar panel energy.
