Loft Insulation
A Simple Way to Help You Save On Your Energy Bills
Loft insulation can help you save on your energy bills by retaining heat in your home. A quarter of heat is lost through an uninsulated loft or attic and installing loft insulation can reduce your energy bills by up to 20%.

How Does Loft Insulation Work?
A properly insulated loft traps the heat generated in your home in the rooms below the loft so that the air inside stays at an ambient temperature for longer.
What are the benefits of Loft Insulation?
Lower Energy Bills
By trapping the warm air that is generated by your heating system in the rooms below your loft area, you can keep your home at an ambient temperature for longer, reducing the demand on your heating system. Lower energy usage means lower energy costs.
Reduce Your Impact on the Environment
By reducing the amount of energy used you will also be reducing your impact on the environment and lowering your carbon footprint.
Improve your Home Energy Performance
Installing loft insulation will improve the energy performance of your home and will result in a better rating on your energy performance certificate. This can increase the value of your home and can help its marketability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does loft insulation last?
Loft insulation can have a lifespan of around 20 years if properly installed and maintained. However, the actual lifespan may vary depending on factors such as the quality of the insulation material, installation method, and exposure to moisture or damage. Regular inspections and maintenance can help ensure the insulation remains effective over time.
Can loft insulation cause damp?
No, loft insulation itself does not cause damp. However, if the insulation is installed incorrectly or there are pre-existing ventilation issues in the loft, it can contribute to dampness. It is important to ensure that proper ventilation is maintained in the loft to prevent moisture build-up and potential damp problems.
How do I know if I need my loft insulation replaced?
Signs that indicate the need for loft insulation replacement include cold spots in the house, uneven heating, increased energy bills, and visible damage to the insulation. Additionally, if your insulation is old, damaged, or has settled significantly, it may be less effective and require replacement. It is recommended to consult with a professional insulation installer to assess the condition of your current insulation and determine if replacement is necessary.
Should pipes in the loft be insulated?
Yes, it is advisable to insulate pipes in the loft to prevent freezing and reduce heat loss. Insulating the pipes can help maintain water temperature and prevent them from bursting in extreme cold temperatures. Pipe insulation also improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss from hot water pipes and decreasing the workload on the heating system.
How much energy can be saved with loft insulation?
The installation of loft insulation can result in significant energy savings. On average, loft insulation can save up to 25% of heat loss from a property, leading to potential annual savings of £350-500 on energy bills. The exact amount of energy saved will depend on various factors, including the size of the loft, the effectiveness of the insulation, and the external temperatures.
