What is different about insulating an older home's loft?
We work from crawl boards spanning several joists so the ceilings are not loaded, check for loose plaster keys before anything is laid, and usually recommend vapour-open insulation such as sheep's wool or wood fibre. Unfelted slate roofs are naturally well ventilated, but they let in wind-driven rain and snow, which the insulation has to cope with. More about loft insulation for an older house.

Why book with us in Surrey
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
How much does loft insulation for an older house cost in Surrey?
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).

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 for an older house in Surrey
Which council covers my address in Surrey?
Addresses in Surrey come under Surrey council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
Are your prices the same across Surrey?
Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.
Do I need permission to insulate a listed building's loft?
Possibly. Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the building's character. Ask your council's conservation officer.
Can loft insulation damage lath-and-plaster ceilings?
It can if people kneel between joists or if the ceiling is already weak. We work from boards and check the ceiling first.
