What is blown loft insulation?
The machine stays outside or on the landing and the hose runs up to the loft. Depth markers fixed to the joists or trusses show the installed depth, and the fibre settles into corners that rolls would bridge. More about blown loft insulation.

Why book with us in Portslade
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Portslade?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about blown loft insulation in Portslade
Do you cover all of BN41?
Yes, we cover the BN41 postcode district and the districts around Portslade.
Can a landlord in Portslade book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Is loft work in Portslade different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
Is blown insulation better than rolls?
It performs about the same for the same depth. It is the faster and neater option in lofts that are awkward to work in, and rolls are better where you want boarding later.
