Why it matters

The case for insulating your Chadwell Heath loft

25%of a home's heat is lost through an uninsulated roof
1 in 5UK lofts are under-insulated or have the wrong material
270mmthe depth current building regulations recommend
90%less radiant heat loss with SuperQuilt multifoil

The reason we lead with the roof rather than the walls or the windows is arithmetic: in a typical Chadwell Heath property it is the largest single heat loss and the smallest single bill to fix it.

Heat loss in Chadwell Heath: where it goes

In a typical Chadwell Heath property built during the 1870s onwards, with heavy rebuilding after 1945, the roof accounts for the largest single share of heat loss of any element in the building envelope. Warm air rises, the ceiling is thin, and above it sits a ventilated void at close to outdoor temperature for most of the winter.

The good news is that this is the cheapest part of the fabric to improve, by a long way. Wall insulation is disruptive and expensive. Window replacement is a major capital cost. Loft insulation is a day's work with materials that cost very little relative to what they save, and it needs no permissions of any kind.

The one local caveat: wartime damage and post-war rebuilding mean two adjoining houses on the same street can have entirely different roof construction. We factor that in at survey stage.

Five ways we keep Chadwell Heath homes warm

Every one of these begins with the same free survey and ends with a fixed price agreed before anything starts.

At roughly 40mm, multifoil delivers serious performance without stealing headroom — which is why it is the answer for Chadwell Heath homes with a room in the roof or a sloping ceiling.

Storage-ready

Boards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Chadwell Heath homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.

Questions & answers

Chadwell Heath loft insulation — common questions

Do I need planning permission in Chadwell Heath?

No. Loft insulation, boarding and loft ladders are all improvement works well outside planning control, in Chadwell Heath as everywhere else. A loft conversion — creating a habitable room with structural alterations — is different and normally needs building control approval. We do not carry out conversions.

Will this improve my EPC rating?

Usually, and often noticeably. Loft insulation depth is recorded directly by the assessor, so increasing it from 100mm to 270mm generally moves the rating. We hand over product documentation and declared performance figures so your assessor records what is actually there.
