Why it matters

The case for insulating your Reigate 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

90%less radiant heat loss with SuperQuilt multifoil

For a Reigate homeowner the practical upshot is simple — the loft is the first upgrade worth making and the one most likely to have been done to an outdated standard.

Reigate's homes

Why Reigate houses lose more heat than they should

Most of Reigate was built during the 1920s onwards, on much older village foundations, and its roofs are typically generous pitched roofs, frequently with modern trussed construction on the newer 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 modern trussed roofs have dense timber webbing that makes movement awkward, so boarding needs planning around the truss layout.

Five ways we keep Reigate 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

Multifoil earns its place in Reigate roofs where depth is the binding constraint — period timbers, low headroom, or a conversion already boarded out.

Installer laying timber battens over mineral wool loft insulation ready for boarding

Mineral wool cross-laid to the 270mm depth current regulations recommend. For most Reigate homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.

Loft boarding

Storage-ready

Storage that does not flatten your insulation. We raise the deck on battens so the full depth survives underneath — the version most Reigate lofts should have had first time.

Loft ladders

Fitted in a day

Fixed, stable access instead of a stepladder on the landing. Timber, aluminium or concertina, chosen to suit the space your Reigate home actually has.

Questions & answers

Reigate loft insulation — common questions

How much does loft insulation cost in Reigate?

There is no single figure, and anyone offering one for Reigate without seeing the loft is guessing. The largest swing factor is almost always whether the existing material can be topped over or has to be stripped out and disposed of. We survey free of charge and quote a fixed price afterwards.

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 Reigate property, but the direction is not in doubt.

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 Reigate loft rooms, multifoil at around 40mm is the practical alternative.
