Loft insulation in Catford
Catford sits in South East London, where the housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the older high ground, extensive interwar semi-detached suburbs, and post-war estates. Much of it was insulated to a standard that has since been superseded twice over. We put that right — properly, in a day, for a price agreed in advance.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Catford loft

Put against current energy prices, a Catford loft still carrying 100mm of settled wool is costing its owner money every single winter it stays that way.
Catford's homes
Older Catford homes, modern standards
Catford's housing stock largely dates from the 1880s through the 1930s, and the roofs above it are typically pitched tile and slate roofs with reasonable head height, and hipped ends on the interwar semis that reduce the usable void. Very little of it was built with any insulation at all; what is there now was added later, and its condition depends entirely on who added it and when.
Retrofitted insulation ages in predictable ways. Mineral wool settles and compresses under its own weight over decades. Anything that has been walked on, stored on or boarded over is thinner than it was. Material that has been repeatedly damp has lost most of its value. And the very oldest loose-fill products are often best removed entirely rather than topped over.
A specific local factor: hipped roofs on 1930s semis cut the usable loft area down sharply at the corners, which changes how much of it is worth boarding. We look for that on every Catford survey.

Five ways we keep Catford 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 depthFull-depth mineral wool, fitted with the ventilation path protected and the hatch sealed — the details that decide whether a Catford loft actually performs.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Catford 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 Catford homeowners who want the roof space to stop being a problem and start being storage: everything, in a day.

Questions & answers
Catford loft insulation — common questions
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
Certainly. Doing the ladder in the same visit means the boarding is planned around where the ladder lands, which is considerably better than retrofitting one to a deck that was not designed for it.
Do you offer free surveys in Catford?
Free, with no call-out fee and no pressure. A meaningful proportion of our Catford surveys conclude that the loft is already adequately insulated and the homeowner should keep their money — which is a perfectly normal outcome.
