SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedMultifoil earns its place in Leatherhead roofs where depth is the binding constraint — period timbers, low headroom, or a conversion already boarded out.

Loft insulation in Leatherhead
Cold upstairs rooms and a heating bill that keeps climbing usually have the same cause, and in Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead 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
Those figures are national, but the logic is entirely local: the roof over a Leatherhead house is the cheapest part of it to improve, and the part losing the most.
Leatherhead's homes
Older Leatherhead homes, modern standards
Leatherhead's housing stock largely dates from the 1920s onwards, on much older village foundations, and the roofs above it are typically generous pitched roofs, frequently with modern trussed construction on the newer stock. 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: modern trussed roofs have dense timber webbing that makes movement awkward, so boarding needs planning around the truss layout. We look for that on every Leatherhead survey.
Our services in Leatherhead
Five ways we keep Leatherhead 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 depthFull-depth mineral wool, fitted with the ventilation path protected and the hatch sealed — the details that decide whether a Leatherhead loft actually performs.
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 Leatherhead lofts should have had first time.
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-oneInsulation, boarding, lighting and a ladder handled together in one visit — cheaper and better sequenced than buying the four separately.

Questions & answers
Leatherhead loft insulation — common questions
Can I still use my Leatherhead loft for storage afterwards?
You can, and most Leatherhead 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.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
Usually, and often noticeably. Loft insulation depth is recorded directly by the assessor, so increasing it from 100mm to 270mm generally moves the rating. We hand over product documentation and declared performance figures so your assessor records what is actually there.
How long does the work take in a typical Leatherhead home?
Most Leatherhead lofts are insulated to full depth in half a day. Adding raised boarding takes it to a full day, and fitting a ladder at the same time adds a couple of hours. We give you the expected duration with the quote, not on the morning.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
Not if it is done properly. Insulating the floor makes the roof space colder, so moisture condenses more readily — the defence is the ventilation path at the eaves. Blocking it with insulation is what creates damp lofts. We keep it clear on every job. Our ventilation guide explains the mechanism.
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
Certainly. Doing the ladder in the same visit means the boarding is planned around where the ladder lands, which is considerably better than retrofitting one to a deck that was not designed for it.
What insulation depth do you fit?
Full recommended depth of 270mm as standard. Going deeper gives sharply diminishing returns; stopping short leaves money on the table every winter. For sloping ceilings in Leatherhead loft rooms, multifoil at around 40mm is the practical alternative.
