Loft Insulation

Loft Insulation

Loft Insulation is the easiest and most cost effective energy efficiency measure you can take - as much as 30% of your energy bill can be saved by effective loft insulation. If you have no loft insulation at all at the moment, fitting insulation should pay for itself within two years.

Your home may already have some loft insulation, but how much money it is saving you depends on how thick it is. The ideal thickness for loft insulation is 250mm (10"), so if yours is 100mm (4") or less it could do with a top-up.

The Material
Loft insulation generally comes in three types - blown material (mineral wool or cellulose fibre), mineral wool quilt, and loose fill. A specialist contractor must install blown material, but installing mineral wool quilt or loose fill is fairly easy to do yourself. The materials are generally available from DIY and hardware stores.

The Cost
The costs for insulating a loft vary depending on the amount of insulation already installed, and the size of your home.

For instance the cost of installing loft installation to the recommended levels in a three bedroom semi-detached house is available from as little as £129 (subject to survey). Do yourself a big energy efficiency favour and give us a call today.
