Loft insulation in Golders Green

If your Golders Green loft has 100mm of flattened wool and a boarded patch balanced on the joists, you are not alone and you are losing money every winter. We fit insulation to the recommended 270mm depth, and raise any boarding clear so it keeps working.

Why it matters

The case for insulating your Golders Green 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

Put against current energy prices, a Golders Green loft still carrying 100mm of settled wool is costing its owner money every single winter it stays that way.

Golders Green's homes

What we find in Golders Green roof spaces

The roofs over Golders Green are mostly generous pitched roofs on the interwar stock, many with hipped ends and a central water tank, and they were built during the 1890s 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.

The interwar semis typically have large, square, walkable lofts — the best candidates in london for boarding as proper storage, which is one more reason we measure rather than assume.

Five ways we keep Golders Green homes warm

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

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

Where a Golders Green loft has already been converted, insulation has to follow the rafters rather than the floor. SuperQuilt does that in 40mm instead of the 200mm-plus a wool build-up would need.

Full-depth mineral wool, fitted with the ventilation path protected and the hatch sealed — the details that decide whether a Golders Green loft actually performs.

Storage-ready

Tongue-and-groove panels, screwed rather than nailed so they lift again if a cable needs reaching — raised clear of the insulation throughout.

Fitted in a day

Many older Golders Green hatches are too small for a ladder to swing through safely. We measure at survey and price any enlargement up front rather than on the day.

Questions & answers

Golders Green loft insulation — common questions

Can I still use my Golders Green loft for storage afterwards?

Yes, provided the boarding is raised. Screwing boards straight onto 100mm joists over 270mm of wool compresses it to a third of its depth and throws away most of what you paid for. We fit raised boarding on battens so the insulation stays at full depth underneath.

Do you work in the streets around Golders Green?

Yes — we cover Golders Green and the whole surrounding area, and our teams are usually working somewhere nearby on any given week. If your street is not obviously listed on our coverage page, ring us anyway; the list is not exhaustive.
