Loft insulation in Vauxhall

Whether you are in a period terrace, an interwar semi or something considerably more recent, we specify insulation for the roof it is actually going into. Vauxhall homes get a free survey, a fixed price and work carried out to current recommended standards.

Why it matters

The case for insulating your Vauxhall 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

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upshot is simple — the loft is the first upgrade worth making and the one most likely to have been done to an outdated standard.

Vauxhall's homes

Vauxhall: what a survey usually turns up

Housing across Vauxhall and the surrounding South London area is largely dense Victorian terraces and villas, interwar semis and a substantial amount of purpose-built and converted flats, built through the 1860s 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 — subdivision into flats is very common, so ownership of the roof space is worth establishing before work is booked — and you have most of what a Vauxhall survey is checking for.

Five ways we keep Vauxhall 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

Where a Vauxhall 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.

Topping up from the 100mm many Vauxhall houses still have to a full 270mm is the cheapest meaningful energy improvement available to a UK homeowner.

Storage-ready

Boards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Vauxhall homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.

Questions & answers

Vauxhall loft insulation — common questions

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.

Do you work in the streets around Vauxhall?

We do. Coverage extends across Vauxhall and the neighbouring areas, and we are happy to confirm your specific postcode over the phone before booking anything.

How much does loft insulation cost in Vauxhall?

We price Vauxhall 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.

Can I still use my Vauxhall loft for storage afterwards?

Yes, provided the boarding is raised. Screwing boards straight onto 100mm joists over 270mm of wool compresses it to a third of its depth and throws away most of what you paid for. We fit raised boarding on battens so the insulation stays at full depth underneath.
