What is loft insulation?
We lay the first layer to the depth of the joists, usually 100 mm, so it fills each bay edge to edge with no gaps. The finished depth sits at 270 mm or more, the depth the Energy Saving Trust recommends. More about loft insulation.
- Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked

Questions about loft insulation in Romford
How do I pay for work in Romford?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
How soon can you visit a home in Romford?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Do you take on jobs outside Romford?
Yes. We also work in Hornchurch and Dagenham and elsewhere in Greater London.
How deep should loft insulation be?
The Energy Saving Trust recommends at least 270 mm of mineral wool, and that is the depth we install as standard. Building regulations also set an energy standard for the roof when a loft is insulated. It differs between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the target for your address on the quote.
How long does it take to insulate a loft?
Most lofts in houses take a single day. A large bungalow loft, a loft that needs clearing first or one with awkward access can run into a second day.
