Our process
-
1
Assess current insulation
We check existing loft or roofline insulation depth and condition against current recommended standards.
-
2
Recommend the right approach
We advise between loft (ceiling-level) insulation and warm-roof (rafter-level) insulation depending on how the space is used.
-
3
Install
Insulation is fitted to the recommended depth, maintaining necessary roof ventilation to avoid trapping moisture.
-
4
Confirm ventilation is correct
We check that upgraded insulation hasn't blocked airflow, which can otherwise cause condensation problems.

Frequently asked questions
Is it worth upgrading loft insulation if I already have some?
Often yes — many older properties have insulation well below current recommended depths, and topping it up is one of the most cost-effective energy improvements available.
Can insulation cause damp or condensation problems?
Poorly installed insulation that blocks roof ventilation can, which is why we always check airflow is maintained as part of any upgrade.
What's the difference between loft insulation and roofline insulation?
Loft (ceiling-level) insulation is cheaper and suits an unused loft; roofline (rafter-level) insulation insulates the roof itself, which suits loft conversions or rooms in the roof space.
Is this a good thing to combine with a full roof replacement?
Yes — a re-roof is the ideal time to upgrade rafter-level insulation since the roof structure is already exposed. See our full roof replacement service.
