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 existing insulation is dry, intact, and pest-free, we add new material on top to bring it up to current standards

We assess every loft individually and only recommend removal when it's truly necessary.
The Benefits of Loft Insulation
According to the Energy Saving Trust, an uninsulated home loses around 25% of its heat through the roof. For the wide range of properties across Newbury and the surrounding villages — from period homes in the town centre to newer developments on the outskirts — inadequate insulation is a common and costly issue.
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

Insulation Depth and Headroom
Many Newbury homeowners ask whether extra insulation will reduce their usable loft space. While increasing depth does raise the loft floor slightly, the long-term energy savings far outweigh any small reduction in headroom.
Older homes often have around 100mm in place — well below the current recommended depth of 270mm. Where the loft is used for storage, we often suggest around 200mm as a practical balance. We'll always advise on the best approach at your free survey.

All our thermal fibre insulation installations meet current UK Building Regulations:
