Up to a 1/4 of all heat loss from a UK home can be through the roof of an uninsulated home. Having the correct depth of loft insulation installed is a simple, cost effective and easy way to keep your home warm. Insulation on the loft floor helps to trap heat which rises through the house towards to roof and prevents heating an uninhabited space. It also helps keep a home cooler in summer.
Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years and is the most cost-effective measure to install.
New installation regulations may require additional ventilation to be fitted as part of a loft install.
