Cavity Wall Insulation:

It is said that at least 30% of heat loss from the home is through the walls, floors and ceilings. Insulating your cavities between the walls and floors is one of the most cost effective ways of reducing this. Not only will cavity wall insulation save you money but it can also create a level temperature in your home making it more comfortable. It can also help prevent condensation on the walls and stop rising damp. You will also be surprised at just how much it can help with soundproofing (and for musicians with the acoustics too!)

Insulation can equally have a cooling effect by reducing the levels of heat that builds up inside your home during the hot summer months. Cavity wall insulation will normally cover its costs through decreased energy bills within 5 years. If your home was built after the 1920's, there is a strong possibility that it will have cavity walls (i.e. a gap between the inner and outer wall). The insulation process is relatively straightforward, the material (normally foam, polybeads or Rockwool ) is injected into the cavity through a series of holes that are drilled from the outside of the building. It will generally take less than a day and it is the least expensive method and creates the minimum amount of disruption.

Loft, attic and roof insulation

There are several ways to insulate your loft or attic. Often people think of the traditional rolls of fibreglass insulation that are layed between the joists. However this is often not the best way as fibreglass is not as efficient at controlling heat loss as other more modern (and more green) materials.

It can be quicker and about the same price to install Rockwool blown loft insulation which is claimed by many to be is the best modern solution to meet the thermal regulations for both newly built and and existing loft spaces. It has excellent thermal insulation and can also be used for topping up existing insulations. It is faster to install than conventional double layering of roll and here again it can significantly improve sound and acoustics.

Spray-on insulation on the roof is a good option to consider, especially if your use the attic or loft space on a regular basis. This is made of polyurethane foam which is pumped through pressurized spray nozzles and adheres to the walls or sides. As it does so it expands to form a continuous insulating barrier. It can also help with strengthening the grip positioning of roof tiles thus making them less likely to come off in a storm. It adheres to most materials including tile, slate, wood, concrete, metal and even cloth.

We aim to give impartial advice and will be delighted to discuss your needs and the type of insulation materials that would be best suits for your home or property.

Loft, attic and roof insulation

Types of loft insulation to consider:

Blanket Insulation: Glass fibre, foil-backed felt, rock fibre or mineral fibre blanket insulation is available by roll. These rolls fit between the joists. This is probably the most common type of insulation but nor necessarily the cheapest or most efficient..

Granular: Cork granules, exfoliated vermiculite, mineral wool or cellulose fibre are all forms of loose fill insulation. This may not be the best method to use in a very draughty loft space, as the draught can cause the fibre to blow about in high winds. However it is easy to apply and is especially useful for areas where joists are irregularly spaced and where pipes or other obstructions make it difficult to lay a blanket insulator.

Sheet insulation: If you intend to use the attic area, you can insulate the sloping surfaces of the roof instead of the floor, although it's good idea to also insulate under the boarding on the joists too. Sheet insulation can also be fixed between the rafters.
