Loft insulation in Ilford
Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Ilford 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.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Ilford 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 Ilford property it is the largest single heat loss and the smallest single bill to fix it.
Ilford's homes
Older Ilford homes, modern standards
Ilford's housing stock largely dates from the 1870s onwards, with heavy rebuilding after 1945, and the roofs above it are typically a mix of original slate, replacement concrete tile and flat or shallow roofs on later blocks. Very little of it was built with any insulation at all; what is there now was added later, and its condition depends entirely on who added it and when.
Retrofitted insulation ages in predictable ways. Mineral wool settles and compresses under its own weight over decades. Anything that has been walked on, stored on or boarded over is thinner than it was. Material that has been repeatedly damp has lost most of its value. And the very oldest loose-fill products are often best removed entirely rather than topped over.
A specific local factor: wartime damage and post-war rebuilding mean two adjoining houses on the same street can have entirely different roof construction. We look for that on every Ilford survey.

Five ways we keep Ilford 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 Ilford homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Ilford homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.
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-oneThe whole loft dealt with at once, for one fixed price. Most Ilford properties are finished within a day.

Questions & answers
Ilford loft insulation — common questions
Do you work in the streets around Ilford?
We do. Coverage extends across Ilford and the neighbouring areas, and we are happy to confirm your specific postcode over the phone before booking anything.
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.
Can I still use my Ilford loft for storage afterwards?
You can, and most Ilford customers do — but the deck has to sit above the insulation, not on it. That is the whole reason raised boarding exists. Tell us at survey stage if storage matters to you, because it changes how the insulation is planned.
How much does loft insulation cost in Ilford?
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 Ilford quote follows a free survey rather than a phone call. Once given, the price is fixed. Our cost guide sets out each variable.
