SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedWhere a Lower Clapton 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.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Lower Clapton 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 Lower Clapton house is the cheapest part of it to improve, and the part losing the most.
Lower Clapton's homes
What we find in Lower Clapton roof spaces
The roofs over Lower Clapton are mostly a mix of original slate, replacement concrete tile and flat or shallow roofs on later blocks, and they were built during the 1870s onwards, with heavy rebuilding after 1945 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.
Wartime damage and post-war rebuilding mean two adjoining houses on the same street can have entirely different roof construction, which is one more reason we measure rather than assume.

Five ways we keep Lower Clapton 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 Lower Clapton homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
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 Lower Clapton 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-oneInsulation, boarding, lighting and a ladder handled together in one visit — cheaper and better sequenced than buying the four separately.

Questions & answers
Lower Clapton loft insulation — common questions
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
We fit ladders alongside insulation and boarding routinely — it is one of the main reasons the combined makeover works out cheaper than booking the elements separately.
Do I need planning permission in Lower Clapton?
Not for insulation, boarding or a ladder. The line falls at conversion — turning the loft into a habitable room — which is a structural job requiring building control sign-off and a different trade entirely.
Do you offer free surveys in Lower Clapton?
Free, with no call-out fee and no pressure. A meaningful proportion of our Lower Clapton surveys conclude that the loft is already adequately insulated and the homeowner should keep their money — which is a perfectly normal outcome.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
It is one of the most reliable ways to improve a rating, because depth is a direct input rather than an inferred assumption. How far it moves depends on everything else about the Lower Clapton property, but the direction is not in doubt.
