Why it matters

The case for insulating your Stanmore 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

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

Stanmore's homes

Stanmore: what a survey usually turns up

Housing across Stanmore and the surrounding North West London area is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces close in, and mile after mile of interwar semi-detached and detached suburbia further out, built through the 1890s through the 1930s. When we open a hatch here, the most common finding is not an absence of insulation but an insufficiency of it — a layer that was correct when fitted and has since been overtaken by both the guidance and the price of energy.

The second most common finding is a ventilation problem. Insulating a loft floor makes the roof space colder, and a colder roof space condenses more readily. Where a previous installer packed material tight into the eaves, the roof has lost the airflow it depends on and the homeowner has a damp loft they blame on the insulation rather than on the installation.

Add to that the local factor — the interwar semis typically have large, square, walkable lofts — the best candidates in London for boarding as proper storage — and you have most of what a Stanmore survey is checking for.

Five ways we keep Stanmore 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 Stanmore roofs where depth is the binding constraint — period timbers, low headroom, or a conversion already boarded out.

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

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 Stanmore lofts should have had first time.

Loft ladders

Fitted in a day

The 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-one

One 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

Stanmore loft insulation — common questions

How much does loft insulation cost in Stanmore?

We price Stanmore jobs after a free survey, itemised so you can see what the insulation, any boarding and any removal each cost. There is no call-out charge and the figure does not move once it is written. The London cost guide explains what drives it.

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 Stanmore property, but the direction is not in doubt.

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.
