SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedWhere a Tooting 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.

Tooting's homes
Why Tooting lofts need attention
Tooting forms part of South London, an area whose housing is characterised by dense Victorian terraces and villas, interwar semis and a substantial amount of purpose-built and converted flats. The bulk of it went up during the 1860s through the 1930s, decades before insulation was a design consideration at all, and what sits above the ceilings today is usually a retrofit added at some point in the last fifty years to whatever standard was current at the time.
That matters because the standard has moved repeatedly. Lofts insulated in the 1980s typically received 100mm; earlier work was often 50mm or nothing. Current guidance is 270mm. A great many Tooting houses therefore contain insulation that was entirely adequate when it was fitted and is now doing roughly a third of the work it should be — while the homeowner reasonably assumes the loft is 'done'.
Subdivision into flats is very common, so ownership of the roof space is worth establishing before work is booked. It is the sort of thing a survey establishes in ten minutes and a phone quote never can.
Our services in Tooting
Five ways we keep Tooting 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 depthMineral wool cross-laid to the 270mm depth current regulations recommend. For most Tooting homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyStorage that does not flatten your insulation. We raise the deck on battens so the full depth survives underneath — the version most Tooting lofts should have had first time.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayFitted in a day, finished to match your landing, with the hatch insulated and draught-sealed as part of the same job.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneFor Tooting homeowners who want the roof space to stop being a problem and start being storage: everything, in a day.

Questions & answers
Tooting loft insulation — common questions
Do you offer free surveys in Tooting?
Yes. Every enquiry from Tooting and the surrounding area starts with a free, no-obligation visit. We measure the loft, check the joists and ventilation, and write a fixed price afterwards. There is no call-out charge whether you proceed or not.
Can I still use my Tooting loft for storage afterwards?
You can, and most Tooting customers do — but the deck has to sit above the insulation, not on it. That is the whole reason raised boarding exists. Tell us at survey stage if storage matters to you, because it changes how the insulation is planned.
How long does the work take in a typical Tooting home?
Most Tooting 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.
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
We fit ladders alongside insulation and boarding routinely — it is one of the main reasons the combined makeover works out cheaper than booking the elements separately.
Do you work in the streets around Tooting?
We do. Coverage extends across Tooting and the neighbouring areas, and we are happy to confirm your specific postcode over the phone before booking anything.
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 Tooting loft is established at survey and priced separately.
