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 second layer goes across the joists at right angles, which covers the timber and stops it acting as a cold bridge. More about loft insulation.
- Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze
- Waste packaging removed
- Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible

How much does loft insulation cost on the Isle of Wight?
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). The Energy Saving Trust puts a typical professionally installed loft at about £750 from bare joists, or £600 to top up from 120 mm.
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 loft insulation on the Isle of Wight
How do I book a survey on the Isle of Wight?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
Can you quote for several properties on the Isle of Wight?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
Can you insulate around downlights?
Recessed downlights need clearance or a fire-rated cover so they do not overheat. We fit covers where needed and leave a clear zone around fittings that cannot be covered.
Does loft insulation need building control approval?
On its own it usually does not, but the work still has to meet the energy standard. The rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the position for your address on the quote.
