Loft Insulation

If you want to make your home warmer, cut energy bills, and improve comfort, loft insulation is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. A properly insulated loft helps prevent heat from escaping through the roof – one of the main sources of energy loss in UK homes.

Our team carry out professional loft insulation surveys to assess your property’s suitability and help you access government-backed funding through the ECO4 scheme. Our role is to make the process simple and stress free. We’ll handle your eligibility check, guide you through funding applications, and connect you with one of our trusted installers if you qualify for support.

What Is Loft Insulation?

Loft insulation involves adding a thick layer of insulating material to your attic or loft space to stop heat escaping through the roof. Because warm air naturally rises, an uninsulated loft can lose up to a quarter of a home’s total heat. This forces your heating system to work harder, costing you more in energy bills.

By installing loft insulation, you create a thermal barrier that traps warm air inside your home during the colder months while helping to keep it cool in summer. This results in a more consistent indoor temperature, improved comfort, and reduced heating costs throughout the year.

The materials used for insulation vary, but the most common options include:

• Mineral wool: Long-lasting and fire resistant, ideal for most homes.
• Fibreglass rolls: Lightweight, affordable, and effective at reducing heat loss.
• Rigid insulation boards: Perfect for loft conversions or limited access spaces.
• Recycled and natural fibres: Eco-friendly alternatives made from sustainable materials.

Modern insulation materials are designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance. They resist moisture, help prevent dampness, and are compliant with current safety and energy regulations.

Whether your home has never been insulated or the existing insulation has deteriorated over time, installing new loft insulation can have an immediate and lasting impact.

Why Loft Insulation Is Important

Your roof is one of the largest areas of heat loss in any property. Without insulation, a significant amount of the heat you pay for literally disappears through the top of your home. This not only makes it harder to stay warm but also increases your heating bills and carbon footprint.

Installing loft insulation can:

• Reduce energy waste: Prevents up to 25% of heat from escaping through the roof.
• Lower your bills: You’ll spend less on heating because your home retains warmth for longer.
• Increase comfort: Creates a more stable indoor temperature and eliminates cold draughts.
• Protect your boiler or heating system: Reduces strain and helps it run more efficiently.
• Improve energy efficiency: Boosts your EPC rating, which can increase property value.
• Reduce emissions: Using less energy helps protect the environment and support the UK’s net-zero goals.

Loft insulation is one of the simplest, fastest, and most cost-effective ways to make your home energy efficient. It’s a long-term investment that can pay for itself in just a few years through lower energy costs and increased comfort.

Who Can Get Help with Loft Insulation Grants?

Under the government’s ECO4 scheme, many homeowners and tenants can receive funding to help with the cost of installing loft insulation. This initiative is designed to make energy-efficient home improvements more accessible, especially for low-income and vulnerable households.

You could qualify for ECO4 funding if you:

• Receive certain benefits or tax credits (for example, Universal Credit or Pension Credit).
• Have a low household income, typically under £31,000 per year.
• Live in a home with a poor Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E, F, or G.
• Own or privately rent your property.

Local councils may also offer flexible eligibility, meaning you could still qualify even if you don’t meet every criterion, based on your home’s energy efficiency and circumstances.

Green Homes Group will make the process simple:

• We carry out a free eligibility check.
• We explain which grants or schemes are available to you.
• We handle the full ECO4 application on your behalf.
• We connect you with a trusted installer from our approved network if you’re eligible.

Our goal is to help households across the UK access the support they need to improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and make homes more sustainable.
