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

Loft insulation in Canary Wharf
Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Canary Wharf homeowners that is the cheapest problem in the house to fix, and the one most likely to have been fixed badly the first time. We do it properly.

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

None of this requires permissions, scaffolding or structural work. In Canary Wharf, as anywhere, it is a day's work with materials that cost little relative to what they save.
Canary Wharf's homes
Canary Wharf housing and the insulation problem
Like much of East London, Canary Wharf is built largely of Victorian terraces, interwar council-built estates, post-war rebuilding and a great deal of recent conversion and new build. Housing of that age has a particular relationship with heat: solid or early cavity walls, single-glazed openings replaced piecemeal over the years, and a roof void that was simply a void until somebody decided to put something in it.
The roof is where the largest single share of that heat goes, and it is also the cheapest part of the building to improve. There is no structural work, no planning permission, no scaffolding and no disruption beyond a day with the hatch open. For most Canary Wharf homeowners it is the first upgrade that makes clear financial sense and the last one they get round to.
The complication locally is that wartime damage and post-war rebuilding mean two adjoining houses on the same street can have entirely different roof construction.
Our services in Canary Wharf
Five ways we keep Canary Wharf 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 Canary Wharf homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Canary Wharf 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-oneFor Canary Wharf homeowners who want the roof space to stop being a problem and start being storage: everything, in a day.

Questions & answers
Canary Wharf loft insulation — common questions
How long does the work take in a typical Canary Wharf home?
A straightforward insulation job in a three-bedroom Canary Wharf 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.
Can I still use my Canary Wharf 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 you offer free surveys in Canary Wharf?
Free, with no call-out fee and no pressure. A meaningful proportion of our Canary Wharf surveys conclude that the loft is already adequately insulated and the homeowner should keep their money — which is a perfectly normal outcome.
Do you remove the old insulation?
It depends what is up there. Cross-laying a new layer over sound existing material is both cheaper and perfectly correct. Failed, contaminated or loose-fill material is stripped, bagged and disposed of — slow work, and we show it as its own line on the quote.
Do you work in the streets around Canary Wharf?
Yes. Canary Wharf is well within our regular working area, along with everywhere immediately around it — see the full list of areas.
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 Canary Wharf 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.
