Tired of Losing Heat Through Your Roof? Let’s Fix That.

If your home feels chilly in the winter and too warm in the summer, there’s a good chance your loft insulation isn’t doing its job. Many houses across the UK still have outdated, patchy, or compressed insulation, leading to rising energy bills and uncomfortable living conditions.

Whether you’re a new homeowner, a growing family, an eco-conscious renovator, or an empty nester trying to cut heating costs, we’re here to help. At Home Counties Loft Ladders, we provide professional loft insulation installation and upgrades that make homes warmer, greener, and cheaper to run , all completed cleanly in just one day.

Why Loft Insulation Matters More Than Ever

Modern insulation standards recommend at least 270mm of loft insulation, yet millions of homes fall short of this. Poor or missing insulation allows heat to escape through the roof, forcing your heating system to work harder and costing you more every month.

Our loft insulation services deliver:

• Lower energy bills month after month
• Improved thermal comfort across every season
• Reduced carbon footprint for a greener home
• Long-term compliance with UK energy efficiency standards
• Storage-friendly solutions with raised boarding where needed

Why Choose a Professional Loft Insulation Installer

Installing loft insulation may seem simple, but it’s a job where experience and precision matter. DIY attempts or hiring a general tradesperson can lead to:

• Incomplete or uneven coverage
• Compressed insulation that traps moisture or causes damp
• Poor airflow, reducing effectiveness
• Missed safety considerations around lighting, electrics, and ventilation

Our qualified insulation fitters ensure that:

• You get the right insulation, compliant with the current building regulations
• Airflow is maintained
• The safety of lights and electrics is maintained
• You can still safely access your loft and use it for storage

With Home Counties Loft Ladders, you get it done right the first time, cleanly, safely, and professionally.

How Much Does Loft Insulation Cost?

We understand that cost matters, but so does long-term value.

The cost of loft insulation depends on several factors:

• Size and layout of your loft
• Depth and condition of existing insulation
• Materials required
• Accessibility and any extras (like raised boarding or hatch upgrades)

To give you an idea:

• Basic top-ups start from around £500
• Full insulation and boarding packages typically range from £1,200 to £1,800
• Every job is quoted individually, free of charge, with no obligation

We’ll provide a clear, written estimate after your survey, and never pressure you to buy. Plus, our insulation can pay for itself in reduced energy bills over time.

Loft Insulation Types & Options

We offer a range of high-performance insulation materials to suit every home:

• Mineral Wool Rolls (Blanket Insulation)
  The most common and cost-effective solution, ideal for laying between joists and topping up to the recommended depth.
• Insulation Top-Ups
  For homes with existing insulation that has compressed or fallen below current standards
