1. How much money can I really save by insulating my loft?
A significant amount. Up to a quarter of a home's heat is lost through an uninsulated roof. Professionally installing high-quality loft insulation to the recommended depth (usually 270mm) dramatically reduces your energy consumption, meaning the installation typically pays for itself in energy savings within just a few years.
2. What is the difference between "cold roof" and "warm roof" insulation?
"Cold roof" insulation is placed immediately above the ceiling of your top floor, keeping the living space below warm but leaving the actual loft space cold. "Warm roof" insulation is installed directly under the roof deck itself, keeping the entire loft space warm. The right choice depends on whether you plan to use your loft simply for storage or as a usable living area.
3. Can you insulate suspended timber floors without ripping up all my floorboards?
Yes, in many cases we can. If your property has a sufficient crawl space underneath the floor, our team can install specialized insulation netting and thick thermal rolls (or rigid boards) directly from below. This minimizes disruption inside your home while completely eliminating cold drafts rising from the ground.
