Loft insulation in Wanstead
Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Wanstead 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 Wanstead 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
The reason we lead with the roof rather than the walls or the windows is arithmetic: in a typical Wanstead property it is the largest single heat loss and the smallest single bill to fix it.
Wanstead's homes
The character of Wanstead roofs
Wanstead is a good illustration of how East London was built. The stock here runs to Victorian terraces, interwar council-built estates, post-war rebuilding and a great deal of recent conversion and new build, and the roofs are predominantly a mix of original slate, replacement concrete tile and flat or shallow roofs on later blocks. Within a single street you can find a loft you can stand up and walk around in, and one three doors along where the only sensible approach is to work on your knees.
That variation is exactly why we survey before quoting. Two lofts of identical floor area can differ by a substantial margin in price because one has 150mm joists and a wide hatch, and the other has shallow, irregular timbers, a 400mm opening and a cold water tank sitting in the middle of the run.
Locally, wartime damage and post-war rebuilding mean two adjoining houses on the same street can have entirely different roof construction — worth knowing before you compare quotes.

Five ways we keep Wanstead 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 depthFull-depth mineral wool, fitted with the ventilation path protected and the hatch sealed — the details that decide whether a Wanstead loft actually performs.
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 Wanstead footprint.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayMany older Wanstead hatches are too small for a ladder to swing through safely. We measure at survey and price any enlargement up front rather than on the day.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneFor Wanstead homeowners who want the roof space to stop being a problem and start being storage: everything, in a day.

Questions & answers
Wanstead loft insulation — common questions
Will this improve my EPC rating?
Very likely. Without documentation an assessor will often default to a pessimistic assumption about what is in the loft, so we make sure you have the paperwork to show them.
How much does loft insulation cost in Wanstead?
We price Wanstead 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.
What insulation depth do you fit?
270mm of mineral wool, cross-laid — the depth current building regulations guidance points to for a cold loft. Where a Wanstead property has a room in the roof and depth is constrained, we use 40mm multifoil at rafter level instead.
