SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedWhere a Bexleyheath loft has already been converted, insulation has to follow the rafters rather than the floor. SuperQuilt does that in 40mm instead of the 200mm-plus a wool build-up would need.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Bexleyheath loft
25%of a home's heat is lost through an uninsulated roof

90%less radiant heat loss with SuperQuilt multifoil
Put against current energy prices, a Bexleyheath loft still carrying 100mm of settled wool is costing its owner money every single winter it stays that way.
Bexleyheath's homes
What we find in Bexleyheath roof spaces
The roofs over Bexleyheath are mostly pitched tile and slate roofs with reasonable head height, and hipped ends on the interwar semis that reduce the usable void, and they were built during the 1880s through the 1930s for a housing market with no expectation of thermal performance. Insulation arrived later, retrofitted into spaces never designed to accommodate it, and the results vary enormously from street to street.
On survey we routinely find the same handful of problems: material compressed to a fraction of its depth by boards laid straight onto the joists, insulation packed hard into the eaves and sealing off the roof's only ventilation path, hatches left as bare uninsulated panels, and recessed downlighters buried under wool. None of these are exotic and all of them are fixable — but they need finding first.
Hipped roofs on 1930s semis cut the usable loft area down sharply at the corners, which changes how much of it is worth boarding, which is one more reason we measure rather than assume.

Five ways we keep Bexleyheath 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 depthMineral wool cross-laid to the 270mm depth current regulations recommend. For most Bexleyheath homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyA squared, edged deck reached from the hatch, with the eaves left open so the roof keeps breathing. Sized to what you will actually use rather than the whole Bexleyheath footprint.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayFitted in a day, finished to match your landing, with the hatch insulated and draught-sealed as part of the same job.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneOne team, one survey, one sequence of work. The insulation depth sets the batten height, the batten height sets the ladder landing — which is why doing it piecemeal costs more.

Questions & answers
Bexleyheath loft insulation — common questions
What insulation depth do you fit?
270mm of mineral wool, cross-laid — the depth current building regulations guidance points to for a cold loft. Where a Bexleyheath property has a room in the roof and depth is constrained, we use 40mm multifoil at rafter level instead.
Can I still use my Bexleyheath loft for storage afterwards?
Absolutely. The only wrong way to do it is to board flat onto the joists. We raise the deck on battens or loft legs, board it in tongue-and-groove panels and leave the eaves clear so the roof keeps ventilating.
Do I need planning permission in Bexleyheath?
Not for insulation, boarding or a ladder. The line falls at conversion — turning the loft into a habitable room — which is a structural job requiring building control sign-off and a different trade entirely.
How long does the work take in a typical Bexleyheath home?
A straightforward insulation job in a three-bedroom Bexleyheath 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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Bexleyheath?
We price Bexleyheath jobs after a free survey, itemised so you can see what the insulation, any boarding and any removal each cost. There is no call-out charge and the figure does not move once it is written. The London cost guide explains what drives it.
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper done together. The one thing to check is the hatch: many older Bexleyheath openings are too small for a ladder to swing through safely, so enlargement may be needed. We measure at survey and price it up front. See loft ladders.
