Helping your home stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and cheaper to run
At The Loft Access Company, we provide professional loft insulation in Marlow and throughout Buckinghamshire. Our friendly team helps homeowners improve comfort, reduce heating bills, and stay compliant with UK Building Regulations using high-performance thermal fibre insulation.
Why Loft Insulation Matters
Without proper insulation, up to 25% of a home’s heat escapes through the roof. Upgrading your loft insulation is one of the simplest and most effective ways 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.
Balancing Loft Insulation Depth and Headroom
It’s common for Marlow homeowners to wonder whether adding insulation will reduce headroom. While a deeper layer does raise the loft floor slightly, the long-term energy savings far outweigh the small loss in space.
Older homes often have around 100 mm of insulation. Current guidance recommends up to 270 mm for maximum efficiency. If your loft is used for storage, we generally recommend around 200 mm to maintain practical headroom while still improving performance.
During your free survey, we’ll check the existing insulation and advise on the right depth for your home — balancing thermal performance, headroom, and how you use your loft.

"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
