Loft Insulation

Everyone knows that heat rises.  What you may not know is that  25% of your heating costs could be escaping out of the roof?   Even if you have some loft insulation in place.

Loft insulation is the single most effective way of reducing your heating bills and keeping your home warmer. It is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of improving the energy efficiency of your home. The ideal thickness for loft insulation is 200mm (8 inches), so if yours is 100mm (4 inches) you could do with a top up.  

Simply by adding a layer of 200mm (8 inch) thick insulation, you can save up to 20% of your heating costs.  

Insulate-your-home will conduct a survey before providing you with a firm quote.  In compliance with industry standards, we will also undertake work, such as boarded passage to enable you to enter the loft safely.  As a matter of course, we insulate all pipework and water tanks in the loft along with the loft hatch.
 
Cavity Wall Insulation

This is the most cost-effective way of reducing heat loss in the home after loft insulation. Up to 35% of the heat lost in an average home is lost through the walls.  

Badly insulated walls lose more heat than any other part of your home and could be costing you up to an extra £200 a year in energy wastage. Cavity wall insulation is a simple solution which can reduce heat loss through the wall by up to 60%.

Cavity walls are common in the majority of homes built after the early part of the 1930s. You can tell if your home has cavity walls by measuring the thickness at any door or window. Cavity walls are at least 300mm (12 inches) thick and are comprised of an outer and an inner layer separated by a small air gap.  Following a survey and quote, we will complete the work in less than a day from the outside of the house, with minimal disruption and no mess.

Solar Water Heating

Still the best form of domestic renewable energy, solar panels can provide between 50% and 70% of your annual hot water needs (with your existing boiler making up the difference).  

If you have a South East, South or South West facing roof and a hot water tank, then installing solar panels is relatively straightforward.
