Home Insulation

Around 25% of all the heat lost in an uninsulated home goes through the roof and around 35% is lost through the walls. Lose less energy by installing home insulation, this will reduce the heat loss, save money, save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. Contact us now as there may be home insulation government grants available to you.

Loft Insulation

Heat rises and in an uninsulated home, a quarter of the heat is lost through the roof. Insulating your roof space is the simplest, most cost effective way of saving energy and reducing your energy bills. Loft insulation is effective for at least 42 years and could save you up to £240 and 990kg of Carbon dioxide per year.

We will need to complete a free survey of your home to determine the depth of your insulation.

We currently have funding available.

Insulation should be applied to the loft area of a depth of at least 270mm. This is done by rolling the insulation between the joists (the horizontal beams that make up the floor of the loft) then another layer is layed at right angles to cover the joists and make the insulation up to the required depth. Depending on the size of your loft, this should not take more than a couple of hours to install. We will insulate any pipework in the loft area and also install draft proofing around the loft hatch.

Room in Roof Insulation

Room in Roof insulation grants are being offered as part of the Government's Energy Companies Obligation scheme (ECO).

Many older properties that where originally built with loft room space or 'Room in Roof' were either not insulated at all or insulated using inadequate materials comparied to current building regulations.

A Room in Roof is simply definedby the presence of a fixed staircase to access the room.

You could save up to £400 a year on your full bills by insulating your Room in the Roof.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Heat will always flow from a warm area to a cold one. In winter, the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home will escape into the surrounding air. If your home was built between 1920 and 2000, your walls are likely to have a gap or cavity between them. Cavity wall insulation fills the gap, keeping the warmth in your home and saving money on energy bills. On average you could save up to £350 / 1100kg Carbon dioxide per year. ( Estimates from the energy saving trust )

To insulate your cavity, small holes will be drilled to the outside of your home. Insulation is then blown into the cavity using special equipment. Once all the insulation is in, the fitters fill the holes in the brickwork so you'll barley notice them. An average size home will take around 3 to 4 hours to install. We use poly beads or insta fibre to insulate the cavity.
