Loft insulation in Chiswick

Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Chiswick 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.

Chiswick's homes

Why Chiswick lofts need attention

Chiswick forms part of West London, an area whose housing is characterised by Victorian terraces, large Edwardian villas, extensive interwar suburban development and post-war blocks. The bulk of it went up during the 1880s through the 1930s, decades before insulation was a design consideration at all, and what sits above the ceilings today is usually a retrofit added at some point in the last fifty years to whatever standard was current at the time.

That matters because the standard has moved repeatedly. Lofts insulated in the 1980s typically received 100mm; earlier work was often 50mm or nothing. Current guidance is 270mm. A great many Chiswick houses therefore contain insulation that was entirely adequate when it was fitted and is now doing roughly a third of the work it should be — while the homeowner reasonably assumes the loft is 'done'.

The 1930s suburban expansion here produced thousands of near-identical semis, which means the same loft problems repeat street after street. It is the sort of thing a survey establishes in ten minutes and a phone quote never can.

Rolls and stacked sheets of SuperFOIL multifoil insulation in a converted London loft

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

Storage-ready

Storage that does not flatten your insulation. We raise the deck on battens so the full depth survives underneath — the version most Chiswick lofts should have had first time.

Questions & answers

Chiswick loft insulation — common questions

Do you work in the streets around Chiswick?

We do. Coverage extends across Chiswick and the neighbouring areas, and we are happy to confirm your specific postcode over the phone before booking anything.

How long does the work take in a typical Chiswick home?

Half a day for insulation alone; a full day for a combined job with boarding, lighting and a ladder. Very large Chiswick lofts or heavy strip-outs occasionally run into a second morning, and we tell you that in advance.

Do you offer free surveys in Chiswick?

Always, and there is no charge or obligation attached. A survey takes around half an hour. We would rather spend it establishing what your Chiswick loft actually needs than quote blind and revise the price later.
