What is Loft Insulation?
The UK has some of the oldest housing stock in Europe, and many homes were built long before energy efficiency was a consideration. As a result, millions of households are losing valuable heat through their roofs, in fact, up to 25% of your home’s warmth can escape through an uninsulated loft. That’s where loft insulation comes in. A properly insulated loft acts as a barrier, trapping heat inside your home where you need it most. It helps you stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and significantly reduces the amount of energy you use.
Loft insulation is a simple upgrade that can make a big difference. It can cut your heating bills by hundreds of pounds each year, in some cases, even more, while also improving your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. By reducing heat loss, it helps lower your carbon emissions and contributes to a more sustainable future. Best of all, loft insulation offers long-lasting performance for around 40 years, with little to no maintenance required.

Loft Insulation Grants FAQs
Properly installed loft insulation can reduce heat loss by up to 25%, which can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills. Depending on the size of your home, the type of heating you use, and how well insulated your property already is, you could save anywhere from £150 to over £500 per year. In some cases, especially in older or larger properties, the annual savings can be even higher. Over time, these savings add up, making loft insulation one of the most cost-effective energy-saving improvements you can make.
Loft insulation is typically a quick and straightforward installation, usually completed in just a few hours to one day. The exact duration depends on factors like the size of your loft, ease of access, and whether any preparatory work is needed (such as clearing stored items). Our team will coordinate with you to arrange a time that suits your schedule, and we always aim to keep disruption to an absolute minimum.
Once installed, loft insulation can last for over 40 years, continuing to perform without the need for regular maintenance or replacement. Unlike other home improvements that may require servicing or upkeep, quality insulation quietly does its job for decades. It’s a long-term investment in both comfort and energy efficiency, and with government grants for loft insulation currently available, it’s never been easier to get it done for free.
You may qualify for a loft insulation grant if you are a homeowner or private tenant living in a home with a low EPC rating (typically D or below). Eligibility may be based on your income, whether you receive certain benefits (such as Pension Credit, Universal Credit or Child Tax Credit), or whether your local council has opted into the ECO Flex scheme, which supports households earning under £31,000 even if they’re not on benefits. Your home must also be suitable for insulation, we’ll arrange an assessment to confirm this.
In most cases, the full cost of loft insulation is covered by the grant, so there’s nothing for you to pay. However, in a small number of situations, depending on your property’s condition or specific insulation needs, you may be asked to contribute a small amount. If that’s the case, we’ll explain everything clearly after your home assessment and make sure you understand all your options before moving forward.
