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.

Questions about loft insulation in Oxfordshire

Which council covers my address in Oxfordshire?

Addresses in Oxfordshire come under Oxfordshire council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.

Can you quote for several properties in Oxfordshire?

Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.

Will loft insulation make my loft colder?

Yes, and that is expected. The insulation keeps the heat in the rooms below, so the loft above runs closer to the outdoor temperature. That is why pipes and the tank are lagged as part of the job.

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.
