Insulation
Loft insulation
Loft insulation to warm the home, cut heat loss and reduce the cold surfaces that drive condensation and mould.
Why diagnosis matters
Treat the cause, then repair the damage
Heat lost through the roof leaves ceilings and upper rooms colder, which encourages condensation and mould. We top up or renew loft insulation to recognised depths, keeping ventilation paths clear so the roof space stays healthy.

Guarantee & aftercare
Written guarantee terms are matched to qualifying work, with inclusions, exclusions and aftercare explained before acceptance.
What we consider
Possible causes and lookalikes
Missing or thin insulation at ceiling level
Heat loss creating cold ceiling surfaces
Blocked eaves ventilation
Gaps and compression reducing performance
Inspection method
A clear work sequence
Step 1
Inspect the loft, existing insulation and ventilation
Step 2
Agree the depth and materials to be installed
Step 3
Lay or top up insulation, keeping eaves ventilation clear
Step 4
Advise on any related condensation or ventilation issues
Scope boundaries
Honest about what the work does—and does not—cover
We supply and install loft insulation and maintain ventilation paths in-house. Structural roof works, and any electrical alterations required in the loft, are referred to the appropriate trade.
Common questions
About loft insulation
How much loft insulation do I need?+
Current guidance recommends a substantial depth of insulation at ceiling level. We confirm the existing depth and top up to a suitable standard for your loft.
Can loft insulation cause condensation in the roof?+
If eaves ventilation is blocked, moisture can build up in the roof space. We keep ventilation paths clear so insulation does not create a new condensation problem.
Should I insulate if I have mould upstairs?+
Warmer ceilings help, but we assess ventilation and any leaks too. Insulation is part of the solution, not a guaranteed cure on its own.
