Our Loft Insulation Material
We fit thermal fibre insulation as standard, chosen for how well it performs across every season — trapping heat in winter, keeping things cooler when it's warm.
It's fire-resistant, resists mould and bacteria, and stays fully breathable to avoid trapped moisture.
We take care around electrical components to maintain safe clearance throughout, and every installation meets current Building Regulations.
Loft Insulation Services in Newbury
We offer a complete range of services tailored to your property:
New Loft Insulation Installation — installed to the recommended 270mm total depth where suitable, laid in two layers to fill between and over the joists
Topping Up Existing Insulation — where your current insulation is still sound, we can simply add to it rather than replace it entirely
Loft Insulation Removal — carried out where old insulation is damp, damaged, or no longer fit for purpose
Every survey includes an honest assessment, so you'll know exactly what your loft needs before any work is booked in.
The Real Benefits of Loft Insulation
The Energy Saving Trust puts heat loss through an uninsulated roof at around 25%, a particular concern for Newbury's older properties, from town-centre terraces to period homes on the outskirts, where insulation is more likely to be thin, outdated, or falling short of current standards.
Good loft insulation delivers:
Lower heating bills year-round
A warmer home in winter and cooler rooms in summer
An improved Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
Long-lasting results — typically 40+ years
Loft Insulation Costs in Newbury

Headroom: What Newbury Homeowners Should Know
Many older Newbury homes still have around 100mm of insulation in place, well under the 270mm now recommended for full performance. Adding depth does affect headroom slightly, lifting the floor a touch, but the drop in heating costs makes it well worth the trade-off.
Where the loft's used for storage, 200mm is usually the practical middle ground. We'll talk through what's right for your home at your free survey.
Meeting the Required Standards
We take compliance seriously, fitting every installation to current national standards so you get excellent performance, as well as peace of mind, covering:
270mm total depth — the minimum recommended under current UK Building Regulations
U-value performance — ensuring your home retains heat efficiently
Ventilation maintained — to prevent condensation and damp in the roof space
