SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedWhere a Peckham 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 Peckham 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 Peckham property it is the largest single heat loss and the smallest single bill to fix it.

Heat loss in Peckham: where it goes
In a typical Peckham property built during the 1880s through the 1930s, the roof accounts for the largest single share of heat loss of any element in the building envelope. Warm air rises, the ceiling is thin, and above it sits a ventilated void at close to outdoor temperature for most of the winter.
The good news is that this is the cheapest part of the fabric to improve, by a long way. Wall insulation is disruptive and expensive. Window replacement is a major capital cost. Loft insulation is a day's work with materials that cost very little relative to what they save, and it needs no permissions of any kind.
The one local caveat: hipped roofs on 1930s semis cut the usable loft area down sharply at the corners, which changes how much of it is worth boarding. We factor that in at survey stage.

Five ways we keep Peckham 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 depthTopping up from the 100mm many Peckham houses still have to a full 270mm is the cheapest meaningful energy improvement available to a UK homeowner.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyA squared, edged deck reached from the hatch, with the eaves left open so the roof keeps breathing. Sized to what you will actually use rather than the whole Peckham footprint.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayMany older Peckham 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.
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.

Questions & answers
Peckham loft insulation — common questions
Do I need planning permission in Peckham?
No. Loft insulation, boarding and loft ladders are all improvement works well outside planning control, in Peckham as everywhere else. A loft conversion — creating a habitable room with structural alterations — is different and normally needs building control approval. We do not carry out conversions.
Do you offer free surveys in Peckham?
Always, and there is no charge or obligation attached. A survey takes around half an hour. We would rather spend it establishing what your Peckham loft actually needs than quote blind and revise the price later.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
Very likely. Without documentation an assessor will often default to a pessimistic assumption about what is in the loft, so we make sure you have the paperwork to show them.
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.
