Loft insulation in Chessington
Cold upstairs rooms and a heating bill that keeps climbing usually have the same cause, and in Chessington it is very often the roof. We survey the loft free of charge, measure what is genuinely up there, and quote a fixed price to bring it up to standard.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Chessington 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 Chessington property it is the largest single heat loss and the smallest single bill to fix it.
Chessington's homes
What we find in Chessington roof spaces
The roofs over Chessington are mostly well-proportioned pitched roofs with good head height, frequently already converted or part-converted, 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.
A high proportion of lofts here have already been converted or partly converted, which moves the insulation from the floor to the rafters, which is one more reason we measure rather than assume.

Five ways we keep Chessington 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 Chessington homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyTongue-and-groove panels, screwed rather than nailed so they lift again if a cable needs reaching — raised clear of the insulation throughout.
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
Chessington loft insulation — common questions
Can I still use my Chessington 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.
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 Chessington property has a room in the roof and depth is constrained, we use 40mm multifoil at rafter level instead.
Do you offer free surveys in Chessington?
Always, and there is no charge or obligation attached. A survey takes around half an hour. We would rather spend it establishing what your Chessington loft actually needs than quote blind and revise the price later.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
Correctly installed, no. The risk comes from packing material hard into the eaves and sealing off the airflow the roof depends on. We stop the insulation short and use eaves trays where the pitch requires them.
Do you remove the old insulation?
Where it can stay, it stays and we top over it. Where it cannot, it goes and the disposal is included in the fixed price. You will never find out about removal costs mid-job — that is decided at survey.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
It is one of the most reliable ways to improve a rating, because depth is a direct input rather than an inferred assumption. How far it moves depends on everything else about the Chessington property, but the direction is not in doubt.
