Loft Insulation

Up to 25% of your homes heat is lost through the roof making loft insulation one of the most important and simplest ways to reduce your heating bills. Heat flows from a warm area to a cold one and the colder it is outside the faster heat will escape.

As Loft Insulation is one of the quickest and cost effective ways to insulate your property the government have introduced a number of ways you can get Loft insulation for FREE. Those who do not qualify for a 100% grant will be eligible for at least a 50% contribution meaning the cost of the insulation can cost as little as £49.

If you’re looking for loft insulation and we can install the recommended 270mm depth you could save around £150 a year on your heating bills and 800kg of CO2. If your loft requires topping up to the recommended 270mm depth, you could save up to £45 a year and 230kg of CO2. These figures are provided by The Energy Saving Trust and are based on a 3 bedroom semi-detached property heated by gas. Greater savings can be made in larger properties or those heated by coal or electricity.
 
  So now this sounds like great idea right; but you’re wondering how on earth you’re going to pay for it. See that’s the great part about it. You may not have to pay a single penny; you see all home owners, occupiers and private tenants are now eligible for a grant funding towards the cost of loft insulation and even cavity wall.
 
  Interested? I thought you would be; so there are two types of grants available from the government these are for both loft insulation and cavity wall insulation.
