Why it matters
The case for insulating your Holloway 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

90%less radiant heat loss with SuperQuilt multifoil
Those figures are national, but the logic is entirely local: the roof over a Holloway house is the cheapest part of it to improve, and the part losing the most.
Holloway's homes
Holloway: what a survey usually turns up
Housing across Holloway and the surrounding North London area is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces, generous interwar semis and a scattering of post-war infill, built through the 1870s through the 1930s. When we open a hatch here, the most common finding is not an absence of insulation but an insufficiency of it — a layer that was correct when fitted and has since been overtaken by both the guidance and the price of energy.
The second most common finding is a ventilation problem. Insulating a loft floor makes the roof space colder, and a colder roof space condenses more readily. Where a previous installer packed material tight into the eaves, the roof has lost the airflow it depends on and the homeowner has a damp loft they blame on the insulation rather than on the installation.
Add to that the local factor — many of the larger houses were divided into flats decades ago, so the loft often sits above a top-floor conversion with its own separate access — and you have most of what a Holloway survey is checking for.

Five ways we keep Holloway 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 depthThe standard job, done to standard: two layers, the second laid across the joists to kill the cold bridge, eaves left clear. Most Holloway lofts are finished in half a day.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyStorage that does not flatten your insulation. We raise the deck on battens so the full depth survives underneath — the version most Holloway lofts should have had first time.
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-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.
Not sure what your Holloway loft needs?
Describe the property and what is bothering you about it, and we will recommend the right combination — or tell you that nothing needs doing.

Questions & answers
Holloway loft insulation — common questions
Do you work in the streets around Holloway?
Yes — we cover Holloway 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.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
It can if the ventilation is ignored, which is why we check it before anything comes off the van. If we find an existing condensation problem in a Holloway loft, we deal with the cause first rather than insulating over it.
Can I still use my Holloway 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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Holloway?
Price depends on the loft's floor area, the depth and condition of anything already up there, how easy the space is to move around in, and whether old material has to be removed. That is why every Holloway quote follows a free survey rather than a phone call. Once given, the price is fixed. Our cost guide sets out each variable.
