SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedMultifoil earns its place in Acton roofs where depth is the binding constraint — period timbers, low headroom, or a conversion already boarded out.

Loft insulation in Acton
If your Acton loft has 100mm of flattened wool and a boarded patch balanced on the joists, you are not alone and you are losing money every winter. We fit insulation to the recommended 270mm depth, and raise any boarding clear so it keeps working.

Acton's homes
Acton: what a survey usually turns up
Housing across Acton and the surrounding West London area is largely Victorian terraces, large Edwardian villas, extensive interwar suburban development and post-war blocks, built through the 1880s through the 1930s. When we open a hatch here, the most common finding is not an absence of insulation but an insufficiency of it — a layer that was correct when fitted and has since been overtaken by both the guidance and the price of energy.
The second most common finding is a ventilation problem. Insulating a loft floor makes the roof space colder, and a colder roof space condenses more readily. Where a previous installer packed material tight into the eaves, the roof has lost the airflow it depends on and the homeowner has a damp loft they blame on the insulation rather than on the installation.
Add to that the local factor — the 1930s suburban expansion here produced thousands of near-identical semis, which means the same loft problems repeat street after street — and you have most of what a Acton survey is checking for.

Five ways we keep Acton homes warm
Every one of these begins with the same free survey and ends with a fixed price agreed before anything starts.
Loft insulation installation
270mm depthTopping up from the 100mm many Acton houses still have to a full 270mm is the cheapest meaningful energy improvement available to a UK homeowner.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Acton homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayThe thing that turns a loft you avoid into one you use. Grab rails and a boarded landing area where the design allows.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneThe whole loft dealt with at once, for one fixed price. Most Acton properties are finished within a day.

Questions & answers
Acton loft insulation — common questions
How long does the work take in a typical Acton home?
A straightforward insulation job in a three-bedroom Acton property is a half-day. Larger, cluttered or awkward-access lofts take longer, and stripping out failed material adds time — all of which is established at survey and reflected in the quote.
Do you offer free surveys in Acton?
Free, with no call-out fee and no pressure. A meaningful proportion of our Acton surveys conclude that the loft is already adequately insulated and the homeowner should keep their money — which is a perfectly normal outcome.
Do you work in the streets around Acton?
Yes. Acton is well within our regular working area, along with everywhere immediately around it — see the full list of areas.
