SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedMultifoil earns its place in Surbiton roofs where depth is the binding constraint — period timbers, low headroom, or a conversion already boarded out.

Loft insulation in Surbiton
Cold upstairs rooms and a heating bill that keeps climbing usually have the same cause, and in Surbiton it is very often the roof. We survey the loft free of charge, measure what is genuinely up there, and quote a fixed price to bring it up to standard.

Surbiton's homes
Heat loss in Surbiton: where it goes
In a typical Surbiton 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: a high proportion of lofts here have already been converted or partly converted, which moves the insulation from the floor to the rafters. We factor that in at survey stage.

Five ways we keep Surbiton 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 depthThe standard job, done to standard: two layers, the second laid across the joists to kill the cold bridge, eaves left clear. Most Surbiton lofts are finished in half a day.
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 Surbiton footprint.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayFixed, stable access instead of a stepladder on the landing. Timber, aluminium or concertina, chosen to suit the space your Surbiton home actually has.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneFor Surbiton homeowners who want the roof space to stop being a problem and start being storage: everything, in a day.

Questions & answers
Surbiton loft insulation — common questions
Do I need planning permission in Surbiton?
None of the work we do requires planning permission. If your Surbiton property is listed or in a conservation area, that affects the roof covering and external alterations rather than insulation laid inside the roof space, though it is always worth mentioning at survey.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
Correctly installed, no. The risk comes from packing material hard into the eaves and sealing off the airflow the roof depends on. We stop the insulation short and use eaves trays where the pitch requires them.
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.
