LOFT INSULATION

Insulating your loft space is a very simple but effective way to minimise the unnecessary and costly loss of heat from your home.

Energy Efficiency Group are able to access funding to partially/completely cover the cost of Loft Insulation. Apply now to find out if you’re eligible.

HOW DOES LOFT INSULATION WORK?

Heat loss in your home can often be traced to an uninsulated or inadequately insulated loft. Adding insulation is a very simple but effective way you can minimise that loss of heat and ultimately save yourself money.

This is because it traps the heat inside the rooms below, meaning the air you heat stays within the house longer. Once adequately insulated you’ll be able to heat your home to the chosen temperature faster, saving both energy and money. The thicker your loft insulation is, the more effective it will be. An insulation depth of 270mm is recommended.

DID YOU KNOW?

On average 25% of the heat in your home is lost through the roof when they are left uninsulated.

HOW MUCH COULD YOU SAVE?

According to the Energy Saving Trust, you can also save money on your yearly bills if your loft has been properly insulated. Based on your house type, you can save the following;

Detached House ------------ £215
Semi-Detached House ------- £130
Mid-Terraced House --------- £115
Bungalow ------------------ £185

LOFT INSULATION FITTING

i1

MINERAL FIBRE MATERIAL

Installing loft insulation is like unrolling a rug. A mineral fibre material is laid between the joists and then over the joists in your loft or roof space.

This thick material captures heat normally lost through the roof and stops draughts getting in. If you already have loft insulation that is 100mm or less, you could still benefit from a top-up.

TANKS AND PIPE INSULATION

Our installers take care to work around tanks and pipes ensuring they are also adequately insulated as part of the process. Our team will also check there is enough ventilation between the roof and newly laid insulation.

This ventilation is necessary as we want to avoid condensation forming in the now cold roof space.

AVERAGE INSTALLATION TIME

Laying insulation is usually a straight-forward job for our experienced installers, but we make sure we cover all bases to ensure there are no surprises when we carry out our initial site-visit.

It roughly takes up to 2 hours to install loft Insulation in an average three-bedroom house. Larger homes and bungalows may take a little longer as they often have a bigger loft space.

I applied for the grant to replace my old boiler which was not running well at all. The service I got from start to finish from all the contractors involved was very professional, respectful and friendly. The process took longer than I expected but the end result was definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. My house is toastie warm and my water is hot and instant. Thanks very much guys.
