Loft insulation in Shepherd's Bush
Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Shepherd's Bush homeowners that is the cheapest problem in the house to fix, and the one most likely to have been fixed badly the first time. We do it properly.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your Shepherd's Bush 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 Shepherd's Bush house is the cheapest part of it to improve, and the part losing the most.
Shepherd's Bush's homes
Why Shepherd's Bush houses lose more heat than they should
Most of Shepherd's Bush 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 Shepherd's Bush 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 Shepherd's Bush houses still have to a full 270mm is the cheapest meaningful energy improvement available to a UK homeowner.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Shepherd's Bush homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.
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-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
Shepherd's Bush loft insulation — common questions
What insulation depth do you fit?
The recommended 270mm, achieved in two layers: the first between the joists, the second laid across them to eliminate the cold bridge through the timber. Skipping that second cross-lay is one of the most common shortcuts in the trade.
How long does the work take in a typical Shepherd's Bush home?
Most Shepherd's Bush 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.
What happens to the water tank and pipes?
They end up above the new insulation line, in a colder space than before, so they must be lagged. The cold water tank is insulated on its sides and lid but never underneath — the warmth rising from the house is what keeps it from freezing. We handle this as part of the job.
Do you remove the old insulation?
Only when it needs to go. Sound, dry wool can be topped over, which saves you the removal cost. Material that is damp, vermin-fouled or collapsed does come out, and we bag it and take it away. Which applies to your Shepherd's Bush loft is established at survey and priced separately.
