Loft insulation in Notting Hill

If your Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill loft

25%of a home's heat is lost through an uninsulated roof

None of this requires permissions, scaffolding or structural work. In Notting Hill, as anywhere, it is a day's work with materials that cost little relative to what they save.

Notting Hill's homes

Why Notting Hill houses lose more heat than they should

Most of Notting Hill was built during the 1880s through the 1930s, and its roofs are typically pitched tile and slate roofs, with hipped ends common on the suburban stock. Nothing about that construction is defective — these are, for the most part, sound, well-built houses. They were simply designed for a world where heating was cheap and thermal performance was not something anyone measured.

Bolting modern expectations onto that fabric is largely a matter of doing a few things properly rather than doing many things at all. Full-depth insulation at ceiling level, a ventilation path that has not been blocked, a hatch that is sealed rather than left as a hole, and boarding that sits above the wool instead of on top of it. Get those four right and the loft stops being the weak point.

Bear in mind too that the 1930s suburban expansion here produced thousands of near-identical semis, which means the same loft problems repeat street after street.

Five ways we keep Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill 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.

The standard job, done to standard: two layers, the second laid across the joists to kill the cold bridge, eaves left clear. Most Notting Hill lofts are finished in half a day.

Loft boarding

Storage-ready

Boards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Notting Hill homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.

Loft ladders

Fitted in a day

Many older Notting Hill 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.

The whole loft dealt with at once, for one fixed price. Most Notting Hill properties are finished within a day.

Questions & answers

Notting Hill loft insulation — common questions

Do you work in the streets around Notting Hill?

We do. Coverage extends across Notting Hill and the neighbouring areas, and we are happy to confirm your specific postcode over the phone before booking anything.

Can I still use my Notting Hill 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.
