A warmer, more comfortable home, and a noticeably smaller heating bill.
The Loft Access Company installs loft insulation for homes across Marlow and the surrounding Thames Valley area. We're a local, experienced team who'll bring your loft up to current Building Regulations using thermal fibre insulation that performs well in every season.
The Benefits of Upgrading Your Insulation
Around a quarter of the heat in a typical home escapes through an uninsulated roof — one more reason upgrading your loft insulation is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take to:
Keep your home warmer in winter
Keep bedrooms cooler in summer
Cut your energy bills
Improve your home’s energy efficiency rating
Whether you live in a riverside cottage, a Victorian terrace, or a modern family home near Marlow Bottom, good insulation makes a noticeable difference.
Will Extra Insulation Eat Into Your Loft Space?
Most older Marlow homes are still sitting at around 100 mm of loft insulation, well short of the 270 mm now recommended for full efficiency. Where the loft doubles as storage, common in properties around Marlow Bottom and the riverside cottages nearby, we'll often suggest 200 mm as a practical middle ground, since a deeper layer does raise the floor slightly, though the energy savings make it worthwhile.
We'll check what's already up there during your free survey and advise on the depth that suits how you actually use the space.

"We were very pleased with the service offered by Rob and his team. The visit was arranged very quickly for the initial inspection and the loft boards and ladder were in place the next day. Luke worked very hard to do the installation and was very careful to make sure any rubbish was cleared and carpets were protected. We have no hesitation to recommend this company. Thank you Rob and Luke” - Gerard Perera
What Our Insulation Is Made Of
Every install uses thermal fibre insulation, picked for how consistently it performs across the seasons, holding heat in when it's cold, keeping it out when it's warm.
It's fire-resistant, resists mould and bacteria, and breathes properly rather than trapping damp. Built to current Building Regulations, it's designed to keep performing at this level for years without any drop-off.
Insulation Regulations Explained
All installations meet the latest standards for loft insulation in the UK, including:
Recommended minimum depth of 270 mm (adjusted if headroom is limited)
Required U-value performance for energy efficiency
Proper ventilation to prevent condensation
What Loft Insulation Costs in Marlow
Price depends mainly on your loft's size and whether we need to clear out what's there first. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation survey, and pricing is worked out by m² so costs stay fair and transparent.
New insulation typically holds up for 40 years or more, so it's an investment that keeps saving you money long after the job's done.
Covering Marlow and the Surrounding Villages
We install across Marlow (SL7), Bisham, Little Marlow, Cookham, and Bourne End.
The area's mix of historic homes and newer developments means insulation needs vary a lot from property to property, so we tailor every recommendation to the house in front of us rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Loft Boarding
Loft boarding is one of the most beneficial upgrades you can make to your home.
Loft Hatches
We can provide a variety of loft hatch solutions. The loft hatch is also where much of the home's heat can escape through, and therefore must be thermally protected.
