Roof insulation is important for as it makes your property more energy efficient. By opting to have insulation installed between the joists, the rooms in your home will stay warm. With insulation placed in the rafters, your loft space will also stay warm, which is ideal if you are building a loft conversion.
By turning to our experts in loft insulation and roof insulation, you will be getting a premium service. A highly skilled team will oversee your project, using the finest resources available to ensure that your roof is fully insulated.
Failing to have quality insulation, could lead to problems down the line. It is important for residents to feel comfortable and warm in their home, especially during the winter months. Insulation will go a long way to achieving this.
Absolutely. Having an insulated loft will make a difference, not only to the temperature throughout your house, but also to your energy bills. As we know, heat rises, and when you switch on the heating, most of it escapes through the roof. With adequate insulation, less heat is going to escape, which means you won’t need to use your heating as often.
As well as helping your financials look healthier, insulation will reduce your carbon footprint. It is not secret how much the environment is suffering due to manmade behaviours. By having insulation in your loft, you are limiting the environmental impact. Your property as a whole will also be more energy efficient, which will result in a better rating on your Energy Performance Certificate.
Also, if you are looking to add another room to your property, then having loft insulation will allow you to convert the space into a bedroom or office.
With regards to a cold insulation, the material placed between the wooden joists will trap heat and prevent it from leaving the rooms below. Warm roof insulation will reduce heat loss in the loft space as opposed to just the rooms below the roof.
Our insulation experts will provide you with an array of options when taking on your project. Below, we have outlined the common types generally used.
Available in foil-backed felt, glass fibre, rock or mineral fibre, batt or blanket insulation is used more often than other types of insulation. The non-irritating materials are ideal for filling exposed areas within the roof, such as cavities.
Made from cork granules, cellulose fibre, or mineral wool, this lightweight version of insulation will be used by our team if adding to existing insulation in your loft. It can easily slot into awkward spaces between joists.

Our team can source sheet insulation boards that are fire resistant and moisture resistant. Not only that, but we can supply boards that have decorative features.
There is not one type of insulation that is best, it all depends on your property and whether you are using the roof space or not. Rest assured that our professionals will advise on the most appropriate insulation for your property once we have discussed your requirements.
